Enrollment in a Nutshell:

Enrollment is just $70 a month with a session subscription, and includes 34 lessons from August through May,  with fresh new units every 5 weeks, each of which includes access to an album of high quality music, and so much more as part of your Kindermusik Home Materials, see your options below.

Enroll at any time, and stay enrolled easily, even as you change from ONLINE to ON-LOCATION classes, and/or move up to the next age group, our Level 1 program for active explorers.

For this unique moment in time, this Kindermusik program for our youngest is being offered through TWO methods:  ONLINE and ON-LOCATION at our Kindermusik Studio.

LIVE ONLINE:  For parents with newborns and littles with developing immune systems, we are creatively offered LIVE ONLINE interactive classes through the ZOOM app… so easy for you to connect with other families with babies through music, even while staying safe at home!  Ask for details.

STUDIO LOCATION:   For families who are ready to go out into the world for interactions in person, our Kindermusik studio is READY too.  We have a comfortable cool small Kindermusik room, just right for around 6 families.  When the weather is nice, we can also meet on our deck outdoors.   In this space, we ALL must work together to stay safe and healthy.  Be SURE to read our Guidelines for Staying Healthy & Happy in Kindermusik.  Thanks so much for doing your part as well.

For many families, Kindermusik is a magical bonding time with their baby in their busy week they look forward to attending each week.    Many even find more, as friendships blossom and they find they are part of a little community of people making the best of life for their family at each of these young ages and stages.

Kindermusik FOUNDATIONS is designed, by Kindermusik International, specifically to meet the needs of cuddlers, creepers, crawlers, and early toddlers, along with the loving adults who care for them.

Perhaps your daily routines need some musical “spice”… new songs to sing, new ways to interact with your baby, and some connection with other families, to more fully enjoy this wonderful time of tiny.  That’s what I found when I first discovered Kindermusik back in 1996, when my little man was so young.  It has been such GOOD “spice” in my life that I became addicted to it, and have been dedicated to offering this opportunity to families as a teacher since 1998.

Building Your Baby’s Library of Sounds

With each unit, you will love having access to a new album of high quality music, a delightful story book, creative ideas for musical interactions with your baby along with all the developmental benefits it has for your baby.

Download the Kindermusik APP on your phone, or any mobile device, and you’ll already have a good variety of music.  With each new Kindermusik unit, a new album will be unlocked that will help you and baby become familiar with the music, creating a foundation in the brain, ready for the learning through the engaging activities we enjoy in class.

Each new unit of Kindermusik is based on unique themes, such as things that go, animal pets, or farm life, etc.  So much more than listening, you will be surrounding your baby with sounds and loving interactions  as you sing along, or dance and move with these recordings.

Parents say this music works like magic with their babies in the car, or when they are fussy for seemingly no apparent reason.   At this tender young age, the brain is so much more capable than the body, and it is looking for patterns and connections through rich and complex experiences, so the music on the recordings are designed as the perfect playground for building a strong neural foundation for learning.

Each unique themed unit has a FULL new album of music, AND options for home materials in 2 formats:

FULL NEW Album of Music Recordings featuring a variety of voices, instruments, and styles presenting songs and chants.

• Added to your available albums in your Kindermusik APP on any mobile device.  (Search & GET that APP filled with music anytime.)
• Available online on the Audio Player in your account on my.kindermusik.com, which can be downloaded to your computer and available on your Smart Speaker.

Lifetime Online access to Digital Materials: through my.kindermusik.com.     BEST if participating in ONLINE classes.

• Stream new album in your My.Kindermusik Site,  ability to download album to computer
• E-book of the story we’ll be reading in class
• Download a variety of PRINTABLES with lyrics and more as your “tools” 
• SEVEN other ACTIVITY Idea Starters for you and baby.

Physical Materials

• Baby Board book with interesting characters, story lines, and word plays
• A Unique Instrument or Prop – designed and made durable, specifically for babies.  

Kindermusik fully believes that as the person who spends the most time with baby, YOU are your child’s first teacher, and that the primary learning takes place in the home and throughout the routines of your days together.  By having the following tools, you are able to enhance your ability to incorporate joyful music, movement, language, and learning activities into your baby’s active life throughout the day.  As you begin to more fully understand the importance of these activities to your babies’ development, you will fine tune your skills, and watch your child thrive in so many ways.

The best way to experience this opportunity is to visit a class and try it out for yourself.  We will be happy to answer any of your questions.  New units start frequently, so join us as soon as you are ready. to get out of the house and make friends.
