Benefits for you and your child

• One convenient class that families can take together

• Introduces musical concepts and develops musical skills

• Allows each child to develop social skills—such as sharing, and turn-taking—in a multi-age, multi-child environment

• Strengthens the emotional bond among family members

Enjoy the Journey All Week Long...

Each family receives a set of At Home Materials designed to integrate the classroom learning experience with the fun, Friday night activities you do together as a family. With music from class, story books, and creative play ideas and trivia, At Home Materials help your children associate learning with the unique time you spend together, bonding as a family. Repetition and family involvement in a child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child's learning to take root and grow.
