The Power of Music

What the Experts Say


Recent research tells us that music is the only activity that stimulates every area of the brain simultaneously – which is why Kindermusik carefully creates each class using music as the key to unlocking the brain – social, emotional, cognitive, literacy, fine and gross motor skills, language and musicality.

We’ve also learned that infants are born with billions of nerve cells and a nearly unlimited potential for connections between those nerve cells. Every time an infant has a sensory experience, neural pathways are formed. The greater the number of neural pathways, the greater the brain power. This process is largely finished by the age of five, making rich sensory environments vital to the brain development of infants and young children.

Children begin the process of brain development with nerve cells that have very sparse branches. During the first few years of life the dendrites (branches) of the nerve cells proliferate. Making these new neural connections is the basis for learning. Then, around age seven or eight, the neural networks that are used the most frequently are preserved, but those that are not being used and stimulated are pruned and die off. Kindermusik exposes children to a variety of rich experiences in order to maximize a lifetime of learning potential by helping to create dense, well-traveled neural networks.

Give Kindermusik a Try, so Fun and Powerful!
