Why offer Kindermusik?

The Goals of Kindermusik

The goals of Kindermusik are parallel those of Baby TALK. Experiencing the joys of music is another important way for families to interact and grow together. Kindermusik encourages mental, physical and emotional development using music as the medium. The Kindermusik experience

• aids children's sensory development and perception by stimulating multiple senses (listening, seeing, touching
• aids children's physical development through a systematic, balanced blend of movement activities
• encourages children's social development by fostering confidence and self-assurance in small groups
• aids children's emotional development by helping them learn to express feelings, and lays the foundation for imaginative and expressive capacities

The Kindermusik Philosophy is:

• child-centered
• developmentally appropriate
• concerned with the whole child
• process, not performance, oriented
• fun for the child
• inclusive of the parents

The Growth of Kindermusik
