Kindermusik is a world-wide children's music and movement program. We use music as a tool to help prepare kids for future school success. Research shows that participation in music-making helps kids become better learners and excel in school. To learn more, visit Kindermusik International's website: www.kindermusik.com

Young Child drawings
Drawings and paintings communicate a child’s thinking and often display early attempts to create symbols, which is a step toward literacy.
I first started attending Kindermusik classes at the Gateway Foundation with my oldest daughter when she was two years old. All four of my children have now participated in Kindermusik. When my family moved back to Pocatello in 2008, the director of The Gateway Foundation for Theatre and Dance asked if I would like to teach the Kindermusik classes there. I said that I would love to. And I do!
Kindermusik combines all of my favorite things-- music, working with young children, and the psychology of learning. I feel very blessed to be able to have a job that I LOVE to go to. I started this blog to show everyone just how great Kindermusik is!
