Featured Unit: Year 1, Semester 1

Young Child students explore many facets of music — speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments and learning about reading and writing music. Creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing or focused listening. The curriculum introduces the thrill of the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and the wonder of string and woodwind instruments like the dulcimer and recorder. The capstone of Kindermusik Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for private instrumental instruction.

Semester 1 of Kindermusik for the Young Child opens the world to new and different ways of learning about music. The focus and content includes beat versus no beat, percussion instruments, brass instruments, melodic direction, exploring the staff and notation. Semester 1 introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument. Favorite themes in Semester 1 include "Music is Everywhere," "Meet the Mallets" and "Discovering Melody and Mozart."
