Did you know?

There is evidence that early music instruction, like Kindermusik, improves intelligence, particularly in the area of spatial-temporal reasoning ( Bihartz, Bruhn and Olson - Sam Houston State University, 1998)

 Also children who play a musical instrument, or sing in a choir are more likely than other pupils to stay on at school and achieve higher grades  (N Martin, The Times,  Spring 2002).

A recent study by Northumbria University and Youth Music     ( 2005) concluded that regular weekly contact between a musician and young children  impacted several aspects of child development - communication, language, mathematical, emotional, social and physical development.

 

 


 

I teach  Kindermusik classes to 4 different age groups - see below for more details.  Please contact me to discuss options.

Kindermusik classes:

Kindermusik classes are developmentally appropriate - suitable  movement, cognitive, language and emotional challenges are incorporated into all Kindermusik classes and activities.

Each Kindermusik class is a world of discovery and adventure. Its full of energy, imagination, music, dancing and fun.

 In every class you’ll see how  your child’s language skills, literacy, listening, problem solving, social skills, self-esteem and musicality evolve. 

Seven magnificent musical years 

Kindermusik believes every child is musical and that parents are the most important teachers.  That's why the programme includes the parents in class and home activities.

An integral part are the home materials which include the highest quality music  CDs, creative activities, beautifully illustrated children’s books and specially designed instruments.

 New concepts and challenges are added to each programme acting  as a stepping stone to the next – paving the way to a musical journey that can last seven years.

The curricula – which is right for my child?

Kindermusik Village® is for children newborn to 18 months providing  families with a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement. High quality, professionally created class and At Home materials include Kindermusik Foundations of learning®, insights based in current research that educate parents about their babies’ unique development.

Kindermusik Our Time® is designed for children 18 months to 3 years. Children  and parents meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening, interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child’s discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child’s urge to move.

Kindermusik Imagine That!® is designed for active, energetic, enthusiastic and imaginative 3 and 4 year olds. Singing becomes a focus for enhancing the preschooler’s vocal development as her expressive language is just beginning to emerge.  Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling, movement and literature to capture your child’s immense potential to learn and to encourage her creativity and individuality. Parents are invited to participate in the last 15 minutes for Sharing Time of the 45-minute class.

Kindermusik for the Young Child® helps every child develop a confident, joyful voice for singing and speaking as well as essential building blocks for a future of learning. Designed for children ages 4 ½ to  7 years, the  weekly  classes are for an hour. Students explore many facets of the musical experience – speaking, singing, moving, dancing, listening, creating and playing instruments, as well as learning about reading and writing music. As the capstone to the child’s Kindermusik journey, Young Child broadens and deepens the child’s introduction to the fulfillment and excitement of musicianship.

Kindermusik also provides programmes for school holidays called Kindermusik Adventures ( 1½  to 7 years)  and nursery and playschools called Kindermusik Music Box ( 3 to 5s).

 New programmes have also recently been developed called ABC, Music and Me for nurseries and Kindermusik Family Time for parents and multiple children. Please contact me if you require further information.
