What you’ll experience in Family Time class:

Singing. When a child sings in the appropriate vocal range, toddlers and preschoolers begin to explore their voices and emerging pitch accuracy. But the benefits go beyond building strong singers. Singing develops memory and recall, lung and cardiovascular strength, as well as creativity and socialization. Simply hearing those voices also helps a baby develop her own vocal skills.
Playing. Musical instrument and prop play throughout the semester builds strong finger muscles, and develops a sense of rhythm. Plus, hoops, scarves, and tumble-around activities develop coordination.
Moving. With growing coordination and interest in their peers, younger children will watch the older ones and learn how to skip and gallop. Everyone will have something to smile, rock, bounce, or dance about!
Listening. Throughout the class, the children are listening to instruments, to each other, and to specially designed opportunities to focus in on developing critical listening skills.
Story time. When children listen to a story in a group, they watch the reactions of each other, helping to stimulate curiosity, expand knowledge, and develop a life-long love of reading.
Musical development. Each week, your family is introduced to musical concepts in a multi-age, multi-child setting, and then you’ll be given the instruments, and the structured free time to turn those concepts into skills through fun and engaging activities.
Expert advice. Your Kindermusik educator explains how each musically based activity enhances your child’s complete development. As well, you’ll be given the tools and ideas to continue your family music making at home.
