Benefits for Your Child and You

-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.
Fiddle-dee-dee
We'll meet many animal characters in our books, activities, and songs—each specifically chosen
for a toddler's emerging interests and physical skills. With silly, bumpy lap bounces we'll help
toddlers develop rhythm while further developing their ever-emerging language skills. With a
special stringed instrument emphasis in the music from class, parents can bring home the violin,
cello, and orchestra sounds to help their toddlers stay happy and engaged learners at home, too.

Home Materials: Double CD featuring songs from class; two interactive storybooks—This
Little Piggy Played the Fiddle and Animal Serenade to develop early literacy skills; Home
Activity Book, and a pair of Fiddlestick instruments.
