Testimony

The results of Kindermusik extend beyond the weekly session. Archer has found his love for music through Kindermusik. He has become more engaged in activities that require joint attention. He would also initiate family members to join him in jumping and playing when his Kindermusik CD is played. The music and activities have stimulated Archer to be more aware of and involved with his surroundings. Kindermusik has made Archer a happier kid and me a proud mother. ~ Constance Wun, mother of three year-old Archer

Kindermusik OurTime Away We Go Week 9

So many different instruments, and they’re all mine!

Sharing and taking turns doesn’t always come so easily. One of the best ways he can learn to share is in a supportive place like our classroom. As you explore the different instruments together, your toddler sees that when he gives something up, he will get to try another.

Learning to share is difficult, especially on a day when everything is “mine!” Yet you will see improvement. And if you feel like your toddler has more trouble than anyone else, look around you…we’ve all been there, and we all understand!

We’ll share more together next time.




Kindermusik’s Foundations of Learning - some of the benefits your child received from today’s activities are:

The Importance of Doing Nothing:
Rocking time has many benefits, with vestibular stimulation, bonding, and listening to music being at the top of the list. Equally valuable is the opportunity during this time to just do nothing. Children need time to be at leisure. This down time is physically necessary for the brain to process the learning that occurs during structured activities and interaction.

Direction in Movement:
It is essential to the learning process to allow a child to experience all aspects of direction in movements (up, down, in, out, around, etc.). Neural pathways develop through experience, stimulation, and interaction. Varied experiences increase the number of neural pathways.
