What is Kindermusik?

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

Last week of Fall semester!

Hello Parents,

I forgot to take my camera to classes this week, so I don't have any new pics for you. I did, however, still want to leave a little message. I have really enjoyed spending time with your children this semester! They are so dang cute! I look forward to working with you again in the spring while you help your children develop the skills they need for school and for life. Music is a great tool to make that happen! I also want to share a quote from the website: www.zerotothree.org.

"A child needs the freedom to move. It is important to allow him plenty of opportunities for movement in a safely arranged space where he can practice using the muscles in his body. This allows him to explore his surroundings, refine his coordination, release some of the energy that keeps him on the go, and develop new skills."

These are just some of the things we do in a Kindermusik class. It is my goal for the semester ahead, to share more benefits with you each week. I also encourage you to use your At-Home Materials even more this semester. There is such value in the kit, but it has to be used to experience that value! So have fun playing together and I will see you all next week!
