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
