Kindermusik helps the whole child

Kindermusik provides a whole child approach to music education. Children move and sing, play musical games, learn about music in other cultures, talk about and listen to the instruments of the orchestra, develop their discriminative listening skills, build self-esteem through group interaction and music making, begin to read and write basic musical notation and much more.

I've taught private piano lessons for six years now and I often get calls from eager parents, ready to spend money on private music lessons for their 3, 4, or 5 year olds. I first ask them, how are the children's fine motor skills? Are they reading? How big are their hands? Are they ready to sit and focus to practice at least 15-20 minutes each day? Probably not, so Kindermusik is great bridge to connect the desire for parents to introduce their young children to music education. By the time children have completed a 2 year Kindermusik class, they have played a pre-keyboard instrument, a simple string instrument, and a wind instrument. They are eager to pursue private lessons and have more staying power! They've also learned musical concepts and theories and are ready to enjoy learning a specific instrument.

when you choose a music program, make sure it is compatible with you and your child. Be prepared to be an active participant and supporter of your child's music experience. It could be one of the best investment you ever make!
