Kindermusik Classes-Fall 2019
Kindermusik Village (ages newborn-18 months) is a place where life’s merry-go-round slows down to let you and your child share in the magical moments that happen through music, movement, touch and sounds. Through a variety of engaging activities in which you interact with your child at his/her own developmental level, you will be given a peek inside your child’s miraculous little body and brain. These moments of discovery will help you to understand how with every tune and rhyme, with every tickle and whisper, with every song and peek-a-boo, you help unfold your baby’s natural gifts. Curriculums for the Fall 2019 semester will be “Feathers and Do Si Do". (45 minute class- parents attend the entire class) Only siblings under the age of 6 months may attend. (2 sets of materials, each include CD, book, pictures, and instrument).

Kindermusik Our Time (ages 18 months-3 years old) Our Time encourages toddlers to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communication skills. It provides a wonderful musical environment that capitalizes on each child's enormous potential to learn. It also helps parents engage children in new and exciting ways through such activities as instrumental exploration, vocal play, movement, and story-time. Opportunities abound in each 45 minute class for parents to take the lead and enjoy playing, dancing, listening and singing with their child in their own special way. "Wiggles and Giggles" will be the curriculum for this semester. Forty-five minute class-parents attend the entire class. Only siblings under the age of 6 months may attend. Materials include CD, 2 books, parent guide, and instrument.

Kindermusik Imagine That (ages 3-5 years old) Imagine That allows us to capture the child's attention, nurture the budding creativity and individuality, and enhance the overall learning process. In "Imagine That: See What I Saw", preschoolers will use their real experience of playing in the park to create imaginative, storytelling scenarios with music---go on an imaginary trip to Grasshopper Park where they sail down the park slide and then recreate the sound of that experience with a long vocal glissando. Each week provides preschoolers one uninterrupted session of imaginative play that's guided in a very specific, sequential way. (45 minute class-parents attend the last 15 minutes) Materials include CD, 2 books, parent guide, park play set, instrument and backpack.
