Silly All Over - The Silly All Over unit of ABC Music & Me gives children a case of the giggles. They will listen to silly sounds, move in silly ways, and read a story about a mouse that puts clothes on all the wrong places. Laugh a little, and get Silly All Over! Home Kit: pair of green sandblocks, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide

Outside My Window - In this unit, your child will play in all kinds of pretend weather and learn how to dress for the rain, snow, wind, and more. Your Student Kits help you turn empty cans, uncooked rice, cardboard boxes, or uncooked pasta into instruments to make your own weather sounds. In a child’s visual world, making a visual instrument brings focus to the attention required for listening. Plus you’ll love the CDs variety of songs for a wintry “Skater’s Waltz,” a sunny “Sally Go Round the Sun,” and a rainy “Rain, Rain, Go Away.”

On the Go - This unit puts a new spin on trains and cars. In class, we’ll talk about things on the go and listen for the sounds they make. With a real-sounding train whistle, sound effects, and “get your motor runnin’” music in your Student Kit, you can take the learning on the go, go, go as you as you help your child develop body control and physical coordination.

With a special stringed-emphasis in the music from class, you can bring home the violin, cello, and orchestra sounds to help your toddler stay a happy and engaged learner at home, too.

Why Your Child Needs Music

2008-04-23T19:00:00.000-07:00

Music helps children become better learners. It develops skills in the whole child-cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language and musical. Research proves that music is the best conductor for learning in early childhood.

Musical activities stimulate development in every area of the brain. Education takes place right in the classroom with the inclusion of Kindermusik Foundations of Learning™. Kindermusik Foundations of Learning are scientific explanations of how Kindermusik enhances the natural growth systems of the young mind and body, contributing to enhanced language development, preparation for reading, inhibitory control, attention, phonological awareness, and more. (For current research at McMaster University on music and childhood development, copy this link into your browser: http://www.psychology.mcmaster.ca/ljt/research.htm )

What is Kindermusik?

2008-03-25T04:44:00.001-07:00

Kindermusik is an early childhood music and movement program based on the beliefs that: Every child is musical. Every parent is the child's most important teacher. The home is the most important learning environment. And based on research, music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical development.

From birth through seven years of age, your child can grow with Kindermusik without pressure to perform, only encouragement to explore, express and discover. You'll see a developmental evolution in language skills, emerging literacy, listening, problem solving, social skills, self-esteem and musicality!

Did You Know?

2007-11-04T11:55:00.000-08:00

13% of American children want to be musicians, according to a study by Busch Entertainment Corporation. Only 6% want to be President.
Music has the power to relax, energize, and motivate.
Music can improve your intelligence.
3 and 4 year old children who had 8 months of musical instruction, including singing and keyboard lessons, scored 43% higher on IQ tests than those who received no music lessons.
Quality interaction with Mom or Dad builds brainpower! Researchers from University of Maryland found that the part of the brain that regulates emotion also influences a child’s ability to learn.
Kindermusik program is so affordable that a child can take weekly classes for the price of one or several fast-food meals.

What our parents are saying?

2007-11-04T10:06:00.000-08:00

We are amazed at how quickly our daughter has developed her language, listening, rhythm, and movement skills with the help of Kindermusik! Ms. Wilson is an outstanding teacher, who fills each class with fun, laughter, and learning.
~C.J., mom of 2 year old

Our son made a significant progress in his development through Kindermusik! We love Ms. Angelica's friendly attitude and her warm smile. Her in-depth knowledge in music and all types of musical instruments also made a big difference.
~V.T., mom of 2.5 year old

It's amazing to see my 2 year old son indulging in the music. He started singing and dancing everyday since I took him to Kindermusik Class. He was such a shy boy before. Ms. Wilson played magic in the class.
~M.X., mom of 2 year old

It had been great experience for my daughter and our family. We really enjoyed the music and games we learned from the classes. I play the CD at home almost everyday and those are her favorite songs.
~C.H., mom of 2 year old

Our daughter benefited from this class by learning many different ways of expressing herself. Her motor skills were increased which helped at home in many ways. Movement and language are something that are so important to children to help them to further their communication to their peers and family. We noticed her vocabulary grew and grew all the time as well as her long list of songs to sing grew too. The group has also taught her to share and be patient with smaller children.
~R.H., mom of 2 year old

My experience with Kindermusik has been very enjoyable. It's fun for babies & parents, great mix of different activities, very friendly atmosphere and great educator - very engaging and caring! My 12 month old and I just loved it!
~ N.S., mom of 12 year-old
