The Kindermusik Village class provides a delightful environment unlike any other. Through a unique blend of multi-level activities that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument exploration, and a colorful literature component, baby's growth and development are stimulated and all senses engaged.

Kindermusik Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers. It incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement.

What a Parent and Child Will Experience in Class:

• Variety of Music - Musical diversity builds strong neural 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 enhance 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 the parent a place to create special memories with their child, gain new insights into their child's development, and nurture their 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 a child's complete development.
• Learning Continues at Home - With the home materials, the learning continues at home with the child's best teacher - the parent!

For the toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world. Despite a display of independence, the 1.5 to 3+ year old child still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, toddlers still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new.

Kindermusik Our Time encourages children to be creative, to initiate their own ideas and to respond in their own ways, while the parents' active participation gives the toddlers the security they need. Playing instruments, singing, moving, and exploring uncover an engaging musical world while building the toddlers' confidence, self-control, and communications skills.

What a Parent and Child Will Experience in Class:

• Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development - Children will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will eventually lead them to discover their potential for beat, rhythm, melody, and 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 - Children 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 toddlers learn to read a book also help them 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 parents to make the most of the fleeting toddler years, giving them the time and the tools to make music and memories together in class and at home.
• Expert advice - A Kindermusik educator explains how the musically based activities enhance a toddler's complete development.

Bringing children of all ages together provides a dynamic and integrated learning experience for everyone.
