BENEFITS to YOU and YOUR CHILD
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

-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.

-Encourages the building of characteristics related to successful learning in
school:    self-confidence, curiosity, self-expression, social skills and
cooperation.
Milk & Cookies -- Make everyday home activities and chores easier and more fun with
music! Cook and sing to “The Muffin Man”; dust and clean to the original song “In My House”;
get ready to wash clothes to the delightful poem “Washing Machine”. Baking cookies, eating
cupcakes, blowing on hot cross buns, wiggling like jelly, going grocery shopping and making tea
are all represented in familiar as well as new songs. Move, play, and sing together in
developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 ½ to 3-year-olds. Capture the familiar
and new moments of the day and learn how music can impact your toddler.
