WINTER/SPRING2017
Come See Why Over 2 Million
Families Choose Kindermusik!
In Kindermusik classes, the instructor leads a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using
musicandmovement.Parentslearnmoreabouttheirchild’suniquedevelopmentalprocess,andthesharedlearning
experience creates a bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play. Sign language is incorporated into
each of the classes. Material fees are paid to the instructor at the first class. This fee is in addition to the program fee.
Registration deadline is two days prior to the start of each session.
Kindermusik Imagine That! (3 1/2 - 5 yrs. old )
The class is designed for children to attend without an adult for
about 35 minutes and then parents/caregivers and siblings join the
class for the last 10-15 minutes for sharing time. Within the weekly
lessons and at home, your preschooler’s unique affinity to learn
through pretend play is the foundation to this musical curriculum.
The first class the parents attend the full class without siblings and
there will be no sharing time.
Cities! Busy Places ~ Friendly Faces — In this unit, sidewalks,
elevators, skyscrapers, and world-traveling photographers are
the theme. Learning through the pretend play that preschoolers
adore, we’ll be rhythmically busy playing storytelling games and
handcrafting city “buildings” from wax paper at home so we can
make a cityscape in class! Plus every activity has some at-home
adaptations so the parent can take part in the learning. With a pair
of resonator bars as a featured instrument, and a multicultural,
jazzy collection of music, preschoolers will develop the social and
intellectual skills they’ll need in school.
Home Materials: Two literature books, game board set (pretend play
manipulative component), two Home CDs, a Family Activity Book, a pair
of resonator bars, backpack

Kindermusik Family Time! (6 mon - 6 yrs. old )
This class becomes a multi-layered learning environment with the
older children ready to show the little ones how it’s done and the
younger ones eager to learn. Your children will listen to instruments
and to each other, learn from their peers and older children. All the
activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing
and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and
emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with
each other and with you, and they’ll start developing the skills
they’ll need in school and on the neighborhood playground.
