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..
HelloWeather,Let’sPlayTogether!(12weeks)Books,storytelling,
language, drama, puppets– these are all essential ingredients to
the Imagine That! curriculum. Hello Weather, Let’s play Together
is no exception, encouraging families to enjoy music and special
times together in all types of weather! Children will explore the
connected, smooth sounds of legato and the separated sounds of
staccato. They’ll learn about fast and slow tempos. Adding to the
thrill are at home projects such as making wind chimes, rain hats,
sleigh bells and snow boots!

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.

songs to enjoy! (6 weeks)

Zoom in Kindermusik Village? Hop in the Zoom Buggy and find out!

adults, other children and their environmental space. Parent/
caregiver participation is required.
	 Milk & Cookies (12 weeks): Imagine the aroma of baking
cookies, the coziness of the family kitchen, the chatter among sisters,
brothers, grandmas, granddads, mom and dad, and the anticipation
and excitement of having friends come to visit. Captured in Milk and
Cookies, these special moments at home are times to be shared and
treasured. Milk & Cookies songs and activities promote interaction
between parent and child where the parent gently guides their
child’s learning and the process of scaffolding takes place. Capturing
the security, excitement and familiarity of “at home” moments is
the ideal theme for empowering the parent to act as teacher.
