Can you sound like an elephant? Or hop like a bunny? Our Time encourages your child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills. Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 1 1/2 years to 3 1/2 years of age. Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 50-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move.

Around the world takes your child on an imaginary "trip around the world" to visit 5 different countries. Your child will learn how to say "hello!" in the native languages of the countries they "visit": Germany, Japan, Africa, England and Mexico. Instruments from those countries will be introduced. Sheets over table tops become German mountain tops perfect for echoes! Tossing peanuts on the floor is said to bring good luck to one's home in Japan. Messages are sent in Nigeria with "talking drums." Get their passports ready! Young children are naturally curious about the world around them. Kindermusik Adventures draws on this curiosity and nurtures it to support each child's creative potential. Using an integrated approach with music, movement, storytelling, and pretend play, drama, and art, Adventures stimulates imagination, spontaneity, inquiry, and a love of music!. |

Young children around the world are asking that very question every day. That’s because Kindermusik children can’t wait to sing, move, explore, express, create and simply experience the incredible power of music.
When it comes to choosing your child’s activities, the options seem endless. One choice provides more ways for your child to grow and thrive than any other. Kindermusik.
Kindermusik initially was developed in Germany and was brought to the U.S. in 1976 by Dan Pratt, Kindermusik’s founder. Based on research and input from many early childhood music and behavioral experts, Kindermusik brings a variety of musical and sensory experiences to every child who participates.
The goal isn’t to make your child a musician, but to make your child more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in his or her world.
