Toddlers love to GO. Going is their gift, their license to venture out into the world. With toddlers’ desire to go comes an attraction to other things that go – cars, planes, buses, horses, wagons, airplanes, and boats, and the list goes on. In Away We Go! parents and children explore the exciting world of transportation. “What are things that go?” “How do they go?” “How do they sound when they go?” “Can I go like that?” “Can I make sounds like that?” Sing and play along with favorite songs, such as “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad” and “Wheels on the Bus”. Explore fast and slow, smooth and bumpy, and high and low. Two literature books tell stories, Shiny Dinah tells the story of a train, and Giddy-Up! has a horse, speedboat, racecar, and more to help you get where you want to go. Move, play, and sing together in developmentally appropriate activities created just for 1 1/2 to 3-year-olds. In addition to the 2 storybooks and a 2 CD set, families will receive a Home Activity Book, a train carrying box, and 2 harmonicas (one for a parent and one for a child) to play along with songs like “Riding the Rails”, “Alabama Gal”, and “Arkansas Traveler.” |

What’s more exciting to a 3- or 4-year-old than a new toy? How about an entire toy shop full of toys! A full toy shop is exactly what your child will experience in the Kindermusik Imagine That! class. Toys I Make, Trips I Take leads the child on a magical journey into a remarkable Toy Shop filled with boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the box and many other toys that bring a twinkle into a child’s eyes. Kindermusik creates a stimulating musical environment that integrates music, pretend play, story telling, movement and more. The excitement may begin in the toy shop, but how exciting it may be to sail off in our toy boat to a far away tropical island. Or perhaps we’ll take our toy train over the mountains and through the valleys. Imagine That!

Children who grow up in Kindermusik have many opportunities to succeed, be nurtured and encouraged in their early creative explorations. Children develop a core of music theory, musicianship, and instrumental technique instilled through voice, body and mind. Play remains the primary way a young child learns, so throughout the curriculum there is a consistent effort to balance active learning with the emotional reasoning aspects of a young child’s developing mind. Through Kindermusik, children practice the cognitive skills of organizing notes and rhythms into meaningful patterns, the physical skills of movement along with concepts of time and space, and the social skills of working within a group. Whether your child has future dreams of playing the piano, the guitar, or drums, the pressure-free, developmentally appropriate concepts taught in Kindermusik help effectively prepare children for formal music instruction after age seven, as well as building foundational life-long learning skills.

“Musical training is a more potent instrument than any other, because rhythm and harmony find their way into the inward places of the soul, on which they mightily fasten, imparting grace.” --- Plato The Young Child Semester 4 class is the final capstone class in the developing musicianship in your child. Together we have learned to read and organize rhythms into patterns, along with the concept of reading notes and rests. During Semester 4 we’ll expand our note reading to include the C Major Scale, review all rhythms & symbols, work on left hand/right hand fine motor skills, and continue to secure a whole body concept of beat and rhythm through movement. We’ll incorporate the instruments, concepts, and songs from previous semesters and expand your child’s playing to their first wind instrument – the recorder. Your child will continue to gain confidence and appreciation for their own musical gifts. Young Child Semester 4 will become a synthesis of learning as the children broaden and deepen their musicianship skills. We will travel all around the globe as we place a special emphasis on multi-cultural music exploring music from Japan to Hawaii and Europe to Africa, just to name a few!
