For lap babies, crawlers and walkers, each working at their own pace, Kindermusik Village opens the door to your relationship with your baby through music. In addition, parents receive informational Kindermusik Foundations of Learning as part of the class experience and printed parent cards. With its primary goal of providing a warm introduction to music and involving the family in music making, the Village curriculum allows parents to discover the joy of interacting with their babies while enjoying the support of other parents through a curriculum that encourages child development. Kindermusik Our Time continues to bring the joy of music and movement to life for children and their parents or caregivers, while adding the dimension of literature and providing more support for parents through its Foundations of Learning. By integrating movement, music and literacy, the curriculum supports the thesis that spoken language skills and musical language skills are more fully developed when woven together.
More parental input is encouraged through a wide range of home activities.
In addition, parents are asked to work with the teacher and to take more of a lead in playing, dancing and singing with their child. Kindermusik Our Time is partially underwritten by Mrs. Lucianna Gladney Ross. Growing with Kindermusik is a non-sequential music readiness class that encourages and strengthens a child s exciting new relationship with the world. The Growing curriculum nurtures a child s ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language. In the classes, children sing, play, create, move, listen and explore through music activities and games.
