 Kindermusik is the community of families and teachers passionately committed to bringing music to children's lives through developmentally appropriate and comprehensive curricula that will nurture and accelerate your child's total development . Our developmentally appropriate environment provides your child with the freedom to try and the assurance of your full attention and support.

For more than 30 years, we have believed music is the best conductor for learning. With music as the vehicle we explore singing, rhythm, movement, poetry, story time, instrument play, focused listening, turn-taking activities and much more. Watch your child's emotional development blossom in confidence, curiosity, self-control and communication. Kindermusik gives you and your child the time and tools to bring the power of music into your life.



 

Kindermusik is a classroom learning experience. I teach children music and movement so they can become better learners. It's about using music as a vehicle to develop skills in the whole child—ages newborn to 7 years—cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical.  

Eventually your child will be ready for private music lessons on an instrument such as the piano.  To prepare children, I will immerse your child in music physically and emotionally so that music is a joyful experience. One of the most important parts of the brain that music stimulates is the same that is used for Math. Children involved in music from an early age and continue to study, do very well in Math. We use poetry and rhyming games in class, as this is the key to developing egar early readers. Children who can recite or sing simple poems or songs as they enter school excel at reading. Kindermusik is more than just a music lesson.

 

 Making music a part of your child's daily life improves their ability to move, think, create, reason and express. Music helps children become better learners.

Explore my site and delight in the possibilities music can offer your child and family! Music is the single best choice for your child's enrichment.
