Article: Harvard-based researchers find a link between early musical training and cognitive capacities that allow for planned, controlled behavior.

fMRI technology is starting to show data where researchers have only been able to draw correlations for some time. Children that are not only exposed to music, but actively create and study music, have increased brain activity in areas that control executive function, verbal fluency and mental processing speed.

Learn colors and sing the Spanish song “De Colures,” “Pop, Goes the Weasel,” and “Looby Loo.” Songs and ideas used in this fun curriculum Confetti Days were selected to represent ways that children all around the world celebrate the joy of simply being children! 
 
This class is multi-age. Many folks each summer tend to ask us how this might work with a toddler and 5 year old in the same class for example, and the answer is, it works BEAUTIFULLY. We have been offering this format for almost 10 years now so all children home during summer can participate, and it’s tried and true, and endless amounts of fun!  Home materials included: Home CD, digital music downloads, pair of confetti bell instruments, story kit, and a set of 5 picture folders. 

 

Our music and art classes (see right) follow the same theme each week. They are scheduled with the option of registering for a single class, or as a 90 minute weekly art and music parent participation camp experience .
Bring one or more children to any combination!

Each class you and your child will explore our Confetti Days! theme through stories, song and art! During each class your child, along with your gentle guidance, will create TWO unique art projects which are immediately available to bring home. We believe the magic happens during the art process, so we encourage each project to be unique and something your child can be proud to say they created. All projects are age appropriate, and materials are non-toxic.

Also included each week is a snack and story time all based around the theme of the week! Class fees include tuition, all art materials and a weekly snack. 

This is a parent or caregiver/child interactive class.

Kindermusik Village for Babies
Newborns up to 18 months
Babies under 5 months are free! Click here for info.
Weeks 1 – 8: Cock-a-doodle-Moo! – Hop on the hayride-it’s time to head for the farm!Weeks 9 – 15: DewDrops – In this class, parents and babies will play and move together to songs about flowers.You’ll also hear traditional Irish music, dance a jig and move to the “Irish Trot.”

Kindermusik Our Time for Toddlers
18 months – 3 1/2 years old
Hop on the train, get in the car, board the plane, and Away We Go! This class focuses on transportation, a favorite topic for toddlers who are on the go, go, go! Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. to name a few!

Kindermusik Imagine That for Preschoolers

3 – 5 years old
Think of it like taking a course inside a child’s imagination. We’ll use the theme of a toy shop to make our pretend-creations, using rhythm and songs with every imaginary saw, hammer, and nail. The result is building the preschooler’s sense of a sequence of events, which is good for storytelling, as well as making his ideas a reality.

Kindermusik for the Young Child –
Semester 1

5 – 7 years old
Using a small-group approach to music education, Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a pressure-free class where your child can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers. Everything your child learns later in semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we’ll learn a keyboard instrument-the glockenspiel!

Kindermusik Family Time for families, siblings and multi-ages

Babies through 7 years old
Session A (1st 5 weeks) – Animals-a-dancing
Session B (2nd 5 weeks) – Family and Friends
Session C (3rd 5 weeks) – How do you feel?
Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. In session A, we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way.

Music for Aardvarks with Mr. Richard for families, siblings and multi-ages
Babies through 7 years old
 Get ready for more fun with Mr. Richard! These informal, spirited classes incorporate sing-a-longs, free-form dance breaks, and instrumental jam sessions. It’s an interactive musical party that the whole family can genuinely get excited about!!

Grow and Sing Studios Art & Book Time

2 – 7 years old
Each class you and your child will explore a different theme through stories, song and art! During each class your child, along with your gentle guidance, will create TWO unique art projects which are immediately available to bring home. Ms. Holly’s monthly art and book time class will enjoy many spring themes including Valentines, Rainbows, Butterflies, and even BUGS!

Babies – 7 years old
Our playdate schedule is ever changing and playdates are constantly added. Each month of playdates offers a different theme and focus.Coming in January – THE DRUM CIRCLE!Kindermusik Playdates are a one time 45 minute class for parents and kids on the go!
