Kindermusik is a music and movement program for children (newborn to 7 years) and their families. Kindermusik originated in West Germany in the late 1960s. By the early 1970s the program was translated into English and adapted for American families. Why should I choose Kindermusik? Kindermusik is the single best choice you can make for your child because it has a 7-point philosophy that is present in all facets of the program from curriculum to materials. Kindermusik is: child-centered, developmentally appropriate, concerned with the development of the whole child, process-, not performance-oriented, fun for the child and family, inclusive of parents or caregivers, and continued at home through the use of high-quality home materials. With a solid musical foundation your child can move naturally into music instruction and develop a lifelong love of music. Kindermusik classes are rooted in the work of early childhood development experts like Piaget, Montessori, Greenspan, and Brazelton. Kindermusik involves every apsect of the developing child: language, motor skills, social skills, cognitive development, and emotional growth. Kindermusik's proven methodology is built on the music education philosophies of Orff, Kodaly, Laban, and Dalcroze and adheres to the standards set by the MENC (Music Educators National Conference). Why should I purchase the Home Materials? Kindermusik materials for the classroom and home include the highest quality music CDs, creative activities, beautifully-illustrated children's books and specially-designed instruments. You will have the right tools to help you bring the power of music into your home and into your child's life forever. Are the classes sequential? The Village, Our Time and Imagine That classes are not sequential. Families are encouraged to join whenever they wish.
Why are Kindermusik classes age-specific? Kindermusik provides the tools for understanding the interests, skills and appropriate learning stages for your child. Each curriculum provides well-researched and piloted activities woven into lesson plans that encourage the development of the whole child. Because the Kindermusik environment and activites are based on your child's specific age, your child will never feel overwhelmed or bored by activites that are too advanced or too easy. |
