Here, There and Everywhere—the five sub-themes center around different family outings: a visit with a friend, an outing at the park, a trip to the city, an afternoon at the aquarium, and a day on the farm. Move like animals with this unit’s story Flip-Flap, Sugar Snap! And follow a girl’s adventure as she loses her jambourine during the day’s outings and then
finds it in the story Jingle-Jangle Jambourine.
Home Materials: Two Books, Two Home CDs, Family Guide, board game, Waggs, the dog hand puppet and finger puppet, and two jambourine instruments.

Our Time reflects the emotional foundations of school readiness and the
latest research on music and early childhood development. Our Time is a
unique opportunity for parent and child to interact and learn together in an
unhurried and joyful manner.

Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Read stories about ways to get around. Shiny Dinah tells the story of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse, speedboat, racecar, and more to help you get where you want to go.

Imagine That! is designed for active, energetic, enthusiastic, and
imaginative children ages 3 to 5. The classes encourage
socialization, sharing, and participating in group activities.
Toys I Make, Trips I Take -- We’ll use the theme of a toy shop to make our pretend-creations, using rhythm and songs with every imaginary saw, hammer, and nail. The result is building the preschooler’s sense of a sequence of events, which is good for storytelling, as well as making his ideas a reality.
Home Materials: Two books—If I Had a Big Blue Boat and Tippity Tippity Too, a Play Set, Two Home CDs, Family Activity Book, and a drum. |

Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a low-pressure, developmentally appropriate transition to musically succeed before taking on more formal instruction. While we plant the seeds of learning through music in the classroom, your joyful homework time together will cultivate lifelong learning. The program is sequential, taking four semesters to
complete, exploring voice development, rhythm, notation, musical symbols, authentic pre-keyboard, string and woodwind instruments, and multi-cultural songs and dances. Parents and siblings join for the last 10 minutes to review the class and receive the homework which the student will do with an adult partner at home.
Semester Two -- Playing simple musical patterns and songs on the featured instrument from the first session—the glockenspiel—is a central focus this semester. While learning to sing a melody, and then play the pattern on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into the understanding of musical concepts such as piano and forte through orchestra-style music such as the William Tell Overture and Peter and the Wolf. Music appreciation and understanding continues with a complete introduction to the instruments—and the families in which they're grouped—of the orchestra.
Home Materials: Children’s Folder with stickers, games bag, and Music At Home Cards, Family Songbook, and Home CD of music from class. |

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY
- Children participating in Kindermusik improved 28 – 37 percentile points in their standard intelligence tests over children without Kindermusik.
Sam Houston State University Study – May 1998
- “Four-year-olds exposed to Kindermusik have better self-control than children with less Kindermusik history.”
George Mason University Study – May 2005
It's true that research shows music helps children become better learners, and that even a newborn emotionally responds to music. Parents respond, too: 99% of Kindermusik parents would recommend the classes to other parents*. However, all the research in the world can’t accurately capture the look of pure delight in your child’s eyes when she experiences the sights and sounds of Kindermusik, both in the classroom and at home.
COME AND EXPERIENCE for yourself why more parents around the world choose Kindermusik than any other music and movement program.
