More on Kindermusik

Kindermusik in the news - from The Arlington Advocate

We take Kindermusik’s Family Time curriculum a step further and offer it within a loving circle of seniors, who take great joy in watching the children grow and learn. While the class remains child-focused and increases the bond between you and your child, this multi-layered learning environment encourages your child’s social skills and ease with older adults. Each week we introduce basic musical concepts as we sing and move together, allowing structured free time for exploring age-appropriate instruments as you and your child put the musical concepts into play.

In Make Way for Music, we’ll sing, dance, and move through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (staccato/legato, high/low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. We’ll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam. In their At Home Materials, families will receive two fingerdrums, one Sing, Play, & Grow home activity guide, two children’s storybooks (Drum Circle and Animals on Parade), a hand puppet and finger puppet of Rex (the lion member of Family Time’s Jellybean Band), and an instrument-matching board game. Get the family band together, and Make Way for Music!

For more information on Village with Seniors.

Kindermusik Village is a special bonding time between lap baby, crawler or toddler, and a parent/caregiver in a delightful interplay of movement, singing, vocal play, and exploration of sounds, textures and simple instruments. You'll also enjoy Kindermusik Village as a community-building class!

Cock-a-doodle-MOO!— Hop on the hayride—Time to head for the farm! We’ll sing songs about the farm, engage in infant massage, lap bounces, exercise, and quiet time. During the week, families will enjoy their At Home Materials, looking through a playful picturebook of animals and the sounds they make, as well as a CD of the songs heard in class and an instrument for music-making at home.

Dew Drops—Stop and smell the roses—and lily of the valley, and tulips, and pansies . . . We’ll play and move together to songs about flowers, hear traditional Irish music, dance a jig, move to the “Irish Trot,” and exercise to “Did You Ever See a Lassie.” Families will receive a CD of beautifully arranged songs from class, a board book of flowers, and an instrument for music-making at home.

Kindermusik Our Time offers a world where the child’s developing ability to feel, cope with and express emotions is encouraged and supported. Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go!  This delightful, 15-lesson unit focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go!

Sing and play along with favorite songs, explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low in developmentally appropriate ways. Shiny Dinah becomes a favorite train story, while Giddy-Up!  moves us around by horse, speed boat, and race car. Families receive 2 CDs, a Home Activity Book, the 2 story-time books, 2 harmonicas, and a train shaped carrying box.

Imagine That!  taps directly into the 3 and 4 year old’s exciting power of imagination through a carefully integrated curriculum of music, movement, and pretend play. What's more exciting to this age than a new toy?  A remarkable pretend toy shop, filled with boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the-box and many other toys is exactly what your child will enjoy in Toys I Make~Trips I Take.

While activities are centered on a child's pretend play and imagination, the unit firmly integrates the learning process by placing a strong musical emphasis on singing, steady beat and ensemble, as well as rhythm and rhythmic patterns. A specially designed Kindermusik drum will be the featured instrument in the At Home materials, along with two CDs, two literature books, a Home Activity Book, and a Toy Shop playset for bringing the classroom activities home. Parents and siblings join for the last 15 minutes of the class

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. Class explores voice development, rhythm, notation, musical symbols, and authentic prekeyboard, string and woodwind instruments. The program is sequential, taking four semesters to complete, but parents may discuss entering their child by peer age level.

Materials for each semester include a Kindermusik folder, songbook, games bag, stickers, activity pages, weekly parent “Music at Home” cards and a music CD. Semester 1 materials include a glockenspiel, which will be used near the end of the semester and throughout the 2 years. Semester 3 materials include a dulcimer. Semester 4 introduces a recorder. Parents join for the last 15 minutes to review the class and homework, which the student will do with a partner at home.
