Kindermusik is the single best choice for your child.
Kindermusik is a developmental music program which through joyful music-making between the parent, child and teacher seeks to promote cognitive, physical, language, social and emotional development in young children. Each class, geared toward your child's developmental stage, is taught by trained and licensed Kindermusik teachers who are passionate about transforming the lives of children through musical learning.

Children sing, play instruments, dance, explore literature and learn to listen in an active, intent way. Musical goals range from developing a steady beat at 18 months to learning to read music at five years-old. The program is based on the beliefs that all children are musical and that the parent is the child's most important teacher.

 
             
 

Why is music vital to a young child's development?
Research shows that early exposure to music is critical to your child's total development and can make a significant impact on lifelong learning.

Why should I choose a Kindermusik program for my child?
For 30 years Kindermusik has been and still is the world's most respected name in musical learning for young children.

Kindermusik benefits parents and children
The key to the Kindermusik program is parental involvement.

How do I know which class is right for my child?
The Kindermusik philosophy springs from genuine respect for each child's individual rate of development. Class activities and at-home materials are designed to honor, support and celebrate the wonderful uniqueness of each child. Learn more about each Kindermusik class.
