Now Enrolling

Somewhere between 3 and 5 years of age, something happens to your child.

As a parent, how do you support this all-important transition? How do you help your child to stretch, reach, and grasp - without pushing? You do it by providing a carefully constructed bridge between receptive learning and expressive learning.

Kindermusik's Imagine That! encourages and strengthens your child's exciting new relationship to the world. Kindermusik uses music to encourage early learning and creativity. Music is the means, not the goal. The goal is a more alive, creative, and able child. Kindermusik matches the child's pace.

Length of course: 15 weeks
Length of class: 45 minutes



WHAT WILL WE DO IN CLASS AND WHY?

Singing fosters the development of your child's most important instrument, the voice, through vocal exploration, songs, and chants.

Moving develops body awareness, coordination, and spatial relationships through synchronized movement, creative movement, and simple dances.

Playing introduces a variety of musical timbres with percussion instruments such as rhythm sticks, jingle bells, drums, resonator bars, and simple instruments your child creates at home.

Creating stimulates your child's imagination and encourages new exploration with sound and movement.

Patterning boosts your child's ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language.

Listening cultivates your child's heightened attentiveness to sound discrimination.

Exploring timbre, dynamics, tempo, and pitch lays the foundation for conceptualization of the elements of music.

Imagine That!:

is for children ages 3 and 4 years; classes are 45 minutes - the last 15 minutes is a sharing time with a parent/caregiver. Musical experiences are expanded to include some pre-ensemble fun with rhythm instruments as their listening skills develop. Children are encouraged to move away from the imitative process to a creative one.
