Young Child provides a pressure-free, developmentally appropriate transition for your budding musician where she can musically succeed before taking on more formal instruction. In small, movement-oriented classes, your child develops her greatest instrument - her voice - while she learns the symbols and vocabulary of music-making.

She develops instrument- playing skills with the introduction of the glockenspiel, recorder, and dulcimer, as listening activities strengthen her ability to discern a variety of instruments and musical concepts. Through creative learning activities, she begins to read music and to create musical compositions - tangible accomplishments that instill positive emotions about her own musicality. Soon, a request of "Mom, I want to take piano" may surprise you.

Kindermusik for the Young Child at home materials include a folder full of activities, an illustrated family songbook, a games bag, professionally recorded music on CD, a musical instrument, and a carry bag.
