You may enjoy being a part of one or more of our Family Style EVENTS once a month.  Check out our unique seasonally themed PLAYDATES, typically scheduled on the 2nd Sat. of each month.  (See bottom of page.)

Your family does things together !  Sharing musical experiences with all the children in the family is a great opportunity to gain new ways of interacting with each other.   Watching an older child pull baby on their lap for a bouncing and singing game is a priceless sight to behold.  Watching little ones hold their instrument out to a sibling in a gesture of “come play with me” makes my heart melt. 

Your child with some developmental differences may also thrive in this class, where the age of the child matters less, as we focus on unique abilities and interactions meant to connect rather than compare.  We know children of all ages and abilities can learn from each other, so that is why our focus in these class groups is on joy filled interactions and connecting with each other in loving ways.

You are likely to find your family singing together as you prepare food in the kitchen, take a bath, or going for a walk.  Most of our families have discovered that our clean up song works like magic !  Your growing instrument collection, from class, and instruments you discover and make together at home, fills your home with joyful explorations of sounds.   Because Kindermusik so strongly believes that all children learn the most from their home experiences and interactions with their parents and siblings, each semester comes with a full set of home materials that provide high-quality tools for continuing the learning at home.   Each set contains:

Materials include:

• 2 CDs of high quality music featuring a variety of voices, instruments, and styles presenting songs and chants based on the unit theme.
• 2 Children’s literature books with interesting characters, story lines, and word plays
• Home Activity Book which includes the words & melodies of the songs, as well as ideas, cut out games, and optional resources to help bring the learning home.
• A Unique Instrument – designed and made durable, specifically for young children to enjoy.
• A cool carrying container, designed around the theme of the semester or one of the characters in the book. This becomes a wonderful tool for open-ended play throughout the semester, and beyond.

These family style classes use the same basic curriculum from the Level 2 program, and are adapted for the wider range of ages of the children enrolled.  Learn more about the Level 2 units scheduled for this year.  Just keep in mind that I have been teaching all of these ages since 1998, and I am thrilled to make this an opportunity for your whole family to connect and thrive with each other, and with other families through music. 

This could be your first Kindermusik experience to enjoy together, or…      This could become an anticipated monthly family ritual.
