Kindermusik's Philosophy is founded upon
rigorous research and Kindermusik's
fundamental beliefs:
-Every parent is the child's most important
teacher.
-Every child is musical.
-The home is the most important learning
environment.
-Music nurtures a child's cognitive,
emotional, social, language, and physical
development.
-Every child should experience the joy,
fun, and learning which music brings to
life.
About
Kindermusik
International
We're in the business of changing the world
one child at a time.
Kindermusik International is the world's
leading publisher of music and movement
curricula for parents and their children,
ages newborn to 7 years old.
More than 5,000 licensed educators use the
Kindermusik curricula in 66 countries,
reaching 1 million families. Kindermusik
International has more than 25 years of
experience creating curricula based on new
and proven research in child development.
The award-winning books, CDs, games, and
instruments nurture skills in the whole
child: cognitive, physical, social,
emotional, and language. In a Kindermusik
class, educators lead a group of parents
and their children through joyful
activities, using music and movement.
Parents learn more about their child's
unique developmental process, and the
shared learning experience creates a unique
bond as the child associates learning with
fun, musical play.
The
learning process continues at home, guided
by specially designed books, CDs, and
games:
Movement and dance activities improve
coordination and balanceOne-on-one parent
and child interaction nurtures self-esteem
Music-making and music listening activities
develop self-discipline, as well as
critical and creative thinking skills.
