MusicBee Academy: Kindermusik Sign And Sing

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 Sign And Sing

Dear Sign & Sing Parent,

I was “HAPPY” to see you all in class today!

Since the first week, we’ve learned a lot about how children approach signs and begin to make the connection between the sign and the object, word, or action. Your child may be so excited about a new sign that he uses it to describe anything. You may have noticed that your child will over-generalize his signing, such as calling anything round a “BALL.” This is a good thing, an indication that his mind is making the connection between signs and objects and is organizing the information.

You can affirm your child’s ability to make that connection when you use signs frequently throughout your day. Watch your child for his most responsive times as he will be more likely to want to learn more signs. Your child will gradually begin to differentiate signs and words—ensuring more and more successes.

Have fun making a “DANCE” as you go “IN” and “OUT” of the rooms in your house and we’ll see you next week!
