Kindermusik at Liberty United Methodist Church
 | |  | |  | |  | |  |
In a Kindermusik Village class, we take those special bonding moments between you and your baby and add in a unique blend of musical
learning activities that stimulate and engage all of the senses. Your educator will teach you how to encourage your baby’s learning through vocal
play, object exploration, instruments, and creative movement.
-Variety of music. Musical diversity builds strong neural networks in a baby’s forming mind, which is why each Kindermusik semester contains an
array of styles, sounds, and genres.
-Instrument play. Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhances a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develops a keen
awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourages spontaneity and creativity.
-Dance. A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and
helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.
-Together time. A Kindermusik class is truly the essence of “quality time,” offering you a place to create special memories with your child, gain
new insights into your child’s development, and nurture your child’s natural love of music.
-Expert advice. A Kindermusik educator explains “what-to-watch-for” every step of the way and how each activity enhances your child’s complete
development
-Learning continues at home. With the 4 sets of yearly home materials, the learning continues at home with your child’s best teacher—you!
