I also wish to thank Col. George Mayer, USMC for being my partner in the reconstitution of the Colgate Naval and Marine Units. I also wish to thank all the unit members who made this specifically and financially possible. As president of Kindermusik , a music education publisher that also trains teachers in its own special method of instruction, he is making steps toward that vision. Activities, with groups of children and their parents facilitated by a teacher through a cappella singing, are geared to promote the highest comfort level, with no expectations for performance. Those are my favorite.
Children are so uninhibited.
When you're in the class, you wish you could let yourself go like them. They are the best pretenders in the world. The goal, though, is for the Kindermusik child to become developed across all those dimensions, even if they never do pursue an instrument. Kindermusik has grown significantly. Previously, he was educational director at Gymboree, a children's education and apparel company.
