Children need spinach, so we put it in icecream!

As the original music and movement program for children, we understand that children learn best when they can see it, hear it, touch it, and then express it in their own creative ways. Each week in class, Angie Janson, licensed Kindermusik educator leads families through research-proven and giggle-approved activities using music as the vehicle for learning.

You will find your child making new friends and learning to say letters and words confidently in a fun, safe, child-focused environment, that helps you the parent, learn how to teach your child at home. Our daily class routine, the circle dances and instrument play times will help your child learn to work together with others in a group. Our story time will introduce your child to the sounds of letters, rhyming words, musical phrases, fluency, and the love of reading. Our focus on listening will help your child attend or put his or her attention on a sound and imitate it to understand its meaning. Weekly listening practice in class and daily listening practice at home will help your child's attention span to increase, her level of interest to expand, and he or she will be ready to listen and learn everyday at school!

The learning continues throughout the week with the home materials, including a CD, storybooks, Family Activity Guide, instruments, and more. Plus, we provide you with weekly parent education and resources, including developmental emails and in-class tips so that youknow how each activity contributes to your child's overall growth and development.

New Our Time Class Starting Soon!

Our Time: Away We Go

For your toddler, every day brings new discoveries and opportunities to explore the world around him. Despite your toddler’s seeming independence, he still longs for the safety and security of parental closeness. During this time, your toddler still relishes the comfort of the familiar while also seeking the challenge of something new.

Kindermusik Our Time encourages her to be creative, to initiate her own ideas and to respond in her own ways, while your active participation gives her the security she needs. As you play instruments, sing, move, and explore, you’ll uncover an engaging musical world while building your child’s confidence, self-control and communications skills.

What you’ll experience in class:
Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development. Your child will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will eventually lead her to discover her potential for beat, rhythm, and melodic ensemble playing.

Vocal play. Through vocal play, toddlers learn to form vowels and consonants, say words and phrases, and imitate rhythm and vocal inflection. In Kindermusik Our Time, vocal play is presented within the context of songs, chants, and activities done in class.

Exploration Time. Your child will love discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements.

Story time and early literacy. Listening to stories enhances language and speech development and fosters awareness of sounds, teaches use of language, and sends the message that words and symbols have meaning. The same experiences that help your child learn to read a book also help her learn to read music.

Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement.

Together Time. Kindermusik is the essence of quality time, allowing you to make the most of the fleeting toddler years and giving you the time and the tools to make music and memories together in class and at home.

Expert advice. A Kindermusik educator explains how our musically based activities enhance your child’s complete development.

Our Voices

Our voices do so much for us every day, communicating information or emotion, sounds of surprise or delight, and more. Sometimes considered "the first instrument," the human voice has amazing possibility and range in both speech and singing, as well as vocal sound effects. Children first participate in musical experiences by responding to them with sounds from their voices. As they grow, they begin to control those sounds, matching pitch and singing along, or singing on their own, without accompaniment.

In Family Time class we sing up high and down low, and make music together in vocal ensembles. The whole family gets to sing and play together, allowing them to experience firsthand that every child (and adult) is musical by nature.
