For your toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world around him. Despite your toddler’s seeming independence, he still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, your toddler still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new.
Kindermusik Our Time encourages her to be creative, to initiate her own ideas and to respond in her own ways, while your active participation gives her the security she needs. As you play instruments, sing, move, and explore, you’ll uncover an engaging musical world while building your child’s confidence, self-control and communications skills.
What You'll Experience in Class:
Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development. Your child will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will eventually lead her to discover her potential for beat, rhythm, and melodic ensemble playing.
Vocal play. Through vocal play, toddlers learn to form vowels and consonants, say words and phrases, and imitate rhythm and vocal inflection. In Kindermusik Our Time, vocal play is presented within the context of songs, chants, and activities done in class.
Exploration Time. Your child will love discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements.
Story time and early literacy. Listening to stories enhances language and speech development and fosters awareness of sounds, teaches use of language, and sends the message that words and symbols have meaning. The same experiences that help your child learn to read a book also help her learn to read music.
Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement.
Together Time. Kindermusik is the essence of quality time, allowing you to make the most of the fleeting toddler years and giving you the time and the tools to make music and memories together in class and at home.
Expert advice. A Kindermusik educator explains how our musically based activities enhance your child’s complete development.

What They Say.......
'Rhian and I have really enjoyed Kindermusik. Seeing her appreciation for rhythm and dance in the classes is great, even when she runs off and does her own thing .
It is good to see that it carries on at home too, especially when we do our homework… . When I put the cd on in the car, she smiles and starts to jig about in her seat!
When we moved and were fortunate to find you, it was great to find the continuity of the classes and the wonderful standard of teaching.
Kindermusik has brought out the musical side of Rhian in a way I wouldn't have done , had I not attended the classes. I hope other parents discover Kindermusik and have as much fun and enjoyment as we are having!
