What is Kindermusik?

Kindermusik is...

  • Child Centered
    Our first priority in instruction is always the needs of each individual child.

  • Developmentally Appropriate
    From rocking to bouncing to dancing, we offer rich musical experiences at just the right level for your little one.

  • Focused on the Whole Child
    Each curriculum is a unit designed to nurture language skills, social interactions, literacy, fine- and gross-motor skills, creativity and reasoning, using music as a medium.

  • Process Oriented
    Each child is unique and has his or her own special way of absorbing and responding to the material we present. Our emphasis is on this process of music-making and celebrating each child's individual successes. We are not concerned with producing little Mozarts or pushing a performance-based outcome.

  • Fun for the Child
    Music is an organic process for children. They do it by nature! We add the joy of sharing their music with others through community music-making.

  • Family Oriented
    Parents are a crucial part of every single lesson. You will experience invaluable bonding time with your child and take your experiences in the classroom home with you.
