Kindermusik with Miss Leigh




"Is it a Kindermusik Day?"




What Is Kindermusik?

Simply put, Kindermusik is a music and movement program. Each week in class you’ll play, listen, and dance to music that will impact you and your child in profound ways. That’s because every song, story, and two-step has a carefully chosen purpose in this creative curriculum—one that’s designed to stimulate and strengthen the vital neural wiring taking place in your child’s mind, right now. I will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child’s overall growth and development.

The latest research with proven methods—that’s Kindermusik, too. Our child-centered curricula incorporate ongoing, in-classroom studies with our own, 30-years’ experience in music and child development. Plus, we’ve combined the best music learning methods found in Orff, Kodaly, and Suzuki.

“Take-home” books, instruments and CDs from class let you take learning with you wherever you go. All while strengthening the emotional bond between you and your child. 

So whether it’s twirling under a sea of scarves, experimenting with age-appropriate instruments, singing about a scampering squirrel, creating a musical ensemble, or snuggling in your lap during story time, Kindermusik speaks your child’s language and offers her (and you!) the best music and movement class available.


The Kindermusik Philosophy

Kindermusik

 is a community of families and educators passionately committed to b
ringing music to children's lives through developmentally appropriate curricula, CDs, books, instruments, and activities. 

Kindermusik's philosophy is founded upon rigorous research and our fundamental beliefs:
  • A parent or loving caregiver is a child’s first and most important teacher.
  • All children are musical.
  • The home is the most important learning environment.
  • Music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social, language, and physical development.
  • Children flourish in a child-centered environment where activities are developmentally appropriate.
  • Educators value the learning process—not the performance—of music making.
  • Every child should experience the joy, fun, and learning that music brings to life.
