Music & Math

There is no longer any doubt that there is a significant link between early music instruction and cognitive growth in certain other, "nonmusical" abilities, such as math, memory, and spatial-temporal reasoning. In fact, studies focused specifically on music for young children even suggest that these cognitive gains increase according to the number of years that students engage in active music learning, and even that the younger children are when they begin, the greater the gains will be!

Music & Literacy

Early music experiences can have a significant impact on literacy and reading. According to experts, learning to read depends on acquiring a variety of skills, including phonological processing, oral language, and comprehension.

Early, positive, age-appropriate experiences with music-like Kindermusik-can have a remarkable and research-proven impact on children's learning, including language and literacy skills (e.g., vocabulary, comprehension, listening, expression); social and emotional development; mathematics and pattern-recognition skills; and even ability to plan, guide, and self-regulate behavior.

Yeah! Drumroll please.................I have dates set for my fall classes!!!

I will start teaching Kindermusik Village and Kindermusik Sign and Sing. These classes will start in October. Fridays start 10/02 and Mondays start 10/05. You can register for my classes by visiting my website: http://www.kindermusikwithangie.kindermusik.net/

*Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers. It incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement.

*Sign and Sing: Sign & Sing classes (developed by Signing Smart™) give parents the tools and knowledge to communicate with their babies using American Sign Language through songs and play.

What is Kindermusik?

What is Kindermusik?Simply put, Kindermusik is a music and movement program. Each week in class you’ll play, listen, and dance to music that will impact you and your child in profound ways. That’s because every song, story, and two-step has a carefully chosen purpose in this creative curriculum—one that’s designed to stimulate and strengthen the vital neural wiring taking place in your child’s mind, right now.

A Kindermusik educator will guide you every step of the way so you know how each activity contributes to your child’s overall growth and development.The latest research with proven methods—that’s Kindermusik, too. Our child-centered curricula incorporate ongoing, in-classroom studies with our own, 30-years’ experience in music and child development. Plus, we’ve combined the best music learning methods found in Orff, Kodaly, and Suzuki.

“Take-home” books, instruments and CDs from class let you take learning with you wherever you go. All while strengthening the emotional bond between you and your child. So whether it’s twirling under a sea of scarves, experimenting with age-appropriate instruments, singing about a scampering squirrel, creating a musical ensemble, or snuggling in your lap during story time, Kindermusik speaks your child’s language and offers her (and you!) the best music and movement class available.

Learning!

I've been working all day trying to get a website started and all that entails... I am learning loads! I now have a website address: http://www.kindermusikwithangie.kindermusik.net/ and I have a voice mail for Kindermusik: 503-708-2827, yeah!

A new beginning

I am busy getting my Kindermusik business started. I have been trying to start my web site, but it's taking time, so thought I'd get going on my blog. I've also been studying a lot to get ready for teaching Kindermusik this fall.
