Come See Why Over
2 Million Families
Choose Kindermusik!
Come See Why Over
In Kindermusik classes,
the instructor leads a group
of parents and their children
through joyful activities, using
music and movement. Parents
learn more about their child’s
unique developmental process,
and the shared learning
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 Our Time
The key element to Kindermusik Our Time is the use of
developmentally appropriate guidelines. Children learn through
interaction with materials, adults, other children and their
environmental space. Exploration Time encourages your child’s
discovery of instruments, textures, sounds and movement. The
anticipation and rewards of listening are introduced, and with
turn-taking activities, social skills blossom. This class prepares
your child for the independence of pre-school (12 week
session).
Wiggles & Giggles: is all about movement (wiggles!) and
fun, funny words and sounds, and emotion (giggles!). There is
a strong connection in this semester to the Our Time theme of
bound away and back. The songs are about humor, laughter,
silly sounds and words, and movement. The child is going back
and forth between being independent and wanting mommy and
daddy. Everyday activities like bath time are highlighted in the
delightful book ‘Pete and PJ’ from the Kindermusik library.

Kindermusik Imagine That!
This class is designed for children to attend without an adult for
about 30-35 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.
See What I Saw: Books, storytelling, language, drama,
puppets - these are all essential ingredients to the Imagine
That! curriculum. Each acts as a dramatic catalyst for integrating
thematic songs, activities, events, and feelings. In See What I
Saw, you will enjoy the many wonders of a trip to Grasshopper
Park. The music represents a variety of different cultures with
songs from Ghana, Latin America, Greece, and France. You will
find some favorites including “Ha Ha This-a-Way,” “Jim Along
Josie,” and “Mr. Sun,” “A Tisket, A Tasket,” “Shoo-Fly,” “and
AlleeGalloo.” There are also many new, original compositions
like the chant “Everything is Just Fine.”

Kindermusik Village
(Newborn to 2yrs. old - lap babies, crawlers and toddlers)
The children in this age group are changing more rapidly than
at any other time in their development. Two key elements to
Kindermusik Village are variety and repetition. Home activities
help involve and educate the parent about the importance of
baby’s musical learning and reinforce concepts learned in class.
Village introduces multiple levels of activities appropriate for the
different stages of development in this age range. Relaxation
and social times are built into the 45-minute lesson to meet
adult needs. There are two curricula for Village. Each curricula
will last 6 weeks (12 week session).
Feathers:IntroducesBabyandParent/Caregivertothemusical
poems of Woody Guthrie, bird songs, and the naturally occurring
sounds in nature help babies develop an early appreciation—and
accelerated aptitude—for language, movement, and music in
this class. Both jazz and classical selections, a Yiddish folk song, a
Muskogean melody, and Mother Goose rhymes set to music are
just a few of the colorful and exciting pieces introduced in this
curriculum. Home Materials: CD with over 25 specially-selected
recordings from class, Kindermusik chime ball, a colorful picture
book of birds—Feathers, and a set of Art Banners for the nursery
wall that strengthens vision and promotes early literacy. (6
weeks)
Do-Si-Do: Stimulates a wonderfully unique experience of
rhythm and movement for Baby and Parent/Caregiver. Pick up
your baby and dance. Dance the Charleston, the Tango, and the
Cha-Cha and learn why dancing with your baby helps develop
vital learning skills—from head-to-toe. In this class, play a
variety of baby appropriate instruments and a dance with fun
props. Home Materials: CD with songs from class, Kindermusik
egg shaker and scarf, a picture board book—Do-Si-Do—with
lilting move-to-it rhyming text and a set of Art Banners for the
nursery wall that strengthens vision and promotes early literacy.

  • 5. EarlyChildhood 5 Fall2015 Come See Why Over 2 Million Families Choose Kindermusik! Come See Why Over In Kindermusik classes, the instructor leads a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child’s unique developmental process, and the shared learning 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 Our Time The key element to Kindermusik Our Time is the use of developmentally appropriate guidelines. Children learn through interaction with materials, adults, other children and their environmental space. Exploration Time encourages your child’s discovery of instruments, textures, sounds and movement. The anticipation and rewards of listening are introduced, and with turn-taking activities, social skills blossom. This class prepares your child for the independence of pre-school (12 week session). Wiggles & Giggles: is all about movement (wiggles!) and fun, funny words and sounds, and emotion (giggles!). There is a strong connection in this semester to the Our Time theme of bound away and back. The songs are about humor, laughter, silly sounds and words, and movement. The child is going back and forth between being independent and wanting mommy and daddy. Everyday activities like bath time are highlighted in the delightful book ‘Pete and PJ’ from the Kindermusik library. Ages: 2 - 3.5yrs. old Code: Days: Dates: Times: Reg. Deadline: 1002 Tuesdays Sept. 15 - Dec.15 10:45 - 11:30am 9/10/15 No class 10/27 & 11/24 1003 Thursdays Sept. 17 – Dec. 17 10:00 - 10:45am 9/10/15 No class 10/29 & 11/26 1004 Fridays Sept. 18 – Dec. 18 9:30 - 10:15am 9/10/15 No class 9/25 & 11/27 Fee: Res. $135/non-res. $140 Materials fee: $65 (payable to instructor on the first day of class or sooner) (2 CD’s, home activity book, 2 music and movement books, zig zag blocks and tote bag) Limit: 5/8 Kindermusik Imagine That! This class is designed for children to attend without an adult for about 30-35 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. See What I Saw: Books, storytelling, language, drama, puppets - these are all essential ingredients to the Imagine That! curriculum. Each acts as a dramatic catalyst for integrating thematic songs, activities, events, and feelings. In See What I Saw, you will enjoy the many wonders of a trip to Grasshopper Park. The music represents a variety of different cultures with songs from Ghana, Latin America, Greece, and France. You will find some favorites including “Ha Ha This-a-Way,” “Jim Along Josie,” and “Mr. Sun,” “A Tisket, A Tasket,” “Shoo-Fly,” “and AlleeGalloo.” There are also many new, original compositions like the chant “Everything is Just Fine.” Ages: 3.5 - 5 yrs. old Code: Days: Dates: Times: Reg.

Two key elements to Kindermusik Village are variety and repetition. Home activities help involve and educate the parent about the importance of baby’s musical learning and reinforce concepts learned in class. Village introduces multiple levels of activities appropriate for the different stages of development in this age range. Relaxation and social times are built into the 45-minute lesson to meet adult needs. There are two curricula for Village. Each curricula will last 6 weeks (12 week session). Feathers:IntroducesBabyandParent/Caregivertothemusical poems of Woody Guthrie, bird songs, and the naturally occurring sounds in nature help babies develop an early appreciation—and accelerated aptitude—for language, movement, and music in this class. Both jazz and classical selections, a Yiddish folk song, a Muskogean melody, and Mother Goose rhymes set to music are just a few of the colorful and exciting pieces introduced in this curriculum. Home Materials: CD with over 25 specially-selected recordings from class, Kindermusik chime ball, a colorful picture book of birds—Feathers, and a set of Art Banners for the nursery wall that strengthens vision and promotes early literacy. (6 weeks) Do-Si-Do: Stimulates a wonderfully unique experience of rhythm and movement for Baby and Parent/Caregiver. Pick up your baby and dance. Dance the Charleston, the Tango, and the Cha-Cha and learn why dancing with your baby helps develop vital learning skills—from head-to-toe. In this class, play a variety of baby appropriate instruments and a dance with fun props. Home Materials: CD with songs from class, Kindermusik egg shaker and scarf, a picture board book—Do-Si-Do—with lilting move-to-it rhyming text and a set of Art Banners for the nursery wall that strengthens vision and promotes early literacy.
