For more than 25
years, Kindermusik has been the premier music program for young
children. Created by early childhood music educators and
informed by the latest research in child development,
Kindermusik programs provide early childhood learning
opportunities through innovative music and movement curricula
and involve families in the joy of their child's development.
Kindermusik curricula are designed to be developmentally
appropriate - each child is encouraged to learn and
unfold at his or her own pace. The
most current research on child development indicates that a
child's fundamental learning takes place between birth and 7
years. Kindermusik offers a broad assortment of activities to
promote language development, social interaction, cognitive
development, coordination, and to awaken a child's imagination.
Kindermusik creates a warm, creative learning environment for
both parents and children and enables them to bring the power of
music into your life at home and into your child's life forever.
"Our greatest fear is not that we are
inadequate, but that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our
light, not our darkness, that frightens us. We ask ourselves,
who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, handsome, talented, and
fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of
God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is
nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't
feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the
glory of God within us. It is not just in some; it is in
everyone. And, as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously
give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated
from our fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
- Nelson Mandela
Kindermusik Philosophy
Kindermusik is the community of families
and teachers passionately committed to bringing music to
children's lives through developmentally appropriate curricula,
CDs, books, instruments, and activities for our classes and for
family time at home.
Kindermusik's philosophy is founded upon
rigorous research and our fundamental beliefs:
- Every parent is the child's most important
teacher.
- Every child is musical.
- The home is the most important
learning environment.
- Music nurtures a child's cognitive,
emotional, social, language, and physical development.
- Every
child should experience the joy, fun, and learning which music
brings to life.
