When your child strikes a cymbal , millions of
little neurons,
little messages resonate and arrive in places all around
her body. She moves her feet, stands up straight.
She watches and listens for directions, responds and
counts to the steady beat. All this and a big, wide
smile - music does that too.

Research proves that early integrationh of music into
your child's daily routine means improving her
ability ot think, reason, create and express. If you
would like to enrol, contact the educator.

All You Need to Know about Kindermusik

Introduction

"Research proves that early integration of music into your child's daily routine means improving their ability to think, reason, create and express. "

Kindermusik is a brain stimulation and an early childhood development program which effectively uses music and movement to assist each child's development.

Continual research, is done into music and early childhood development and Kindermusik keeps updating programs that are taught, thereby ensuring your child receives the best possible tuition and benefits.

Research has shown that by diligently working with the home materials at home and attending Kindermusik classes through the seven year program, your child should be two years ahead of their peers at school-going age.

Kindermusik has also been recognised as the best pre-school music stimulation program in the world! (Wall Street Journal, 2001) Kindermusik also helps with school readiness and is without doubt the single best choice you can make for your little one.

Should you require your child to begin classes that Kindermusik with Cath currently does not offer, they will be placed on file until there is a sufficient amount of enquiries to begin that particular age group, at which time we will contact you. Alternately, should you wish to start immediately, you may visit the Kindermusik South Africa website for educator listings.

Kindermusik cares...!

There is a song I listen to, of which the title eludes me, sung by Singing Sandra of Trinidad and Tobago. I listen to this particular song with fondness as it brings a profound warmth and connection and love to mind that I have for ‘my’ Kindermusik ‘kids’. Here are a few of those lyrics. I have altered it slightly to make it dual gender…

“…S/he’s Perfectly untamed, extraordinary, Waiting for the world to grow……No one knows how far s/he’ll go.
In their imagination Stories evolve, magical dreams burst at the seams…
Who is that child riding on the star? So young, so free, tell me who you are…”

These words bring waves of emotion as each little face appears before me - at least one of those lyrics apply to them through the Kindermusik philosophy.

The philosophy of this phenomenal program advocates a child-directed approach, which truly does spark the imagination and as a bonus, it is developmentally appropriate! Kindermusik allows for freedom through exploration in a fun-filled and safe environment in which families can participate. It is process not performance orientated and above all, it sees potential in each child, through whole child development.

Read those lyrics again. Is that how you see your child? Is that how you would like a Kindermusik educator to see your child? How wonderful when someone truly cares. Kindermusik does. My heart tells me so and it’s been pretty accurate up to now. Kindermusik is not merely a career, it is a calling, which makes choosing this program, the “single best choice” you can ever make for your child.

Warmest regards,
