Kindermusik

The internationally acclaimed Kindermusik® program is a carefully researched, developmentally based program that offers children their first experiences with music and movement in classes that are inviting and enjoyable. The classroom curriculum is supplemented with engaging take-home materials, included in the tuition fees. If you’re looking for something truly special to share with your child, Kindermusik is the answer. Begin your child’s special musical journey today, and from the classroom to your home, you can make every day a Kindermusik day!

The program is grounded in these beliefs:

  • every child is musical
  • every parent is the child’s most important teacher
  • the home is the most important place for learning
  • music nurtures a child’s cognitive, emotional, social, language and physical development. 

We offer Kindermusik classes at 4 age levels, and find that children who began in Kindermusik make excellent music students as they reach school age. Kindermusik at Community Music School
