Benefits of Kindermusik Education
Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience.
We teach children music so they can become better learners. It's not about making little Mozarts. It's about developing skills in the whole child - ages newborn to 7 years - cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. For more than 30 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning.
Our effective teaching methodology is based on the music education philosophies of Orff, Kodály, Laban and Dalcroze and the work of early childhood experts like Piaget, Montessori, Greenspan and Brezelton. Current research that shows music is a powerful stimulant for a child's total development is continually incorporated in the writing of all curricula.
Language development in a multi-lingual world
Music education is one of the best ways to support a child's language development. Our programs incorporate language activities beginning with sound identification and imitation, baby's first words, to storytelling. Whether English is your child's first language, second or third, our seven-year program supports their growing knowledge and confidence in using the language.
Physical development
Children learn through movement so we move! Free dance, circle dances and finger play help your child gain awareness of her body and improve her coordination.
Cognitive development
Current research has proven that music-making and music listening skills as well as balancing, tapping a steady beat and the ability to count help children later on in critical and creative thinking needed for math, reading, problem solving and concentration.
Social development
In class, children enjoy time with others their own age and have the opportunity to practice some necessary skills such as self-discipline, taking turns and sharing.
Emotional development
One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem. Music bonds families, creates communities and soothes the soul.
Musical development
Rhythm, instruments, singing, dance and a wide variety of musical styles are introduced to your child throughout the seven-year program.
Music & Literacy
According to experts, learning to read depends on acquiring a variety of skills including phonological processing, oral language, and comprehension. The early musical experiences your child gets in Kindermusik can have a significant impact in all these areas.
