Customer Testimonials
Glenda is an exceptional
Kindermusik teacher. Both of my
two sons (3.5 yrs. old and 2 yrs. old)
have attended her classes for about
one year. They were fascinated by
Glenda's beautiful voice since their
very first class. Her dedication,
patience and love absolutely guided
my sons into the pleasant journey of
music. Before my children started
the program, neither of them
understood English. Practicing
English songs in the class absolutely
helped them with English. In
Glenda's class, kids will learn the
songs that involve colors, shapes,
numbers (counting and counting
down), as well as patterns. Gross
motor skills for kids are also
developed by the musical games
that involve marching, jogging,
skipping and hopping. Kindermusik
is such a great program for the kids
to explore! We will continue our
classes and I believe my sons will
love music for life. I would
recommend Glenda's class to any
young child.
Hickory, Dickory, Tickle, and Bounce -- Research shows the
more you expose your baby to nursery rhymes and songs, the
stronger those emerging language-learning skills will be. That's
why these Mother Goose-like stories and rhymes are the main
theme of this class. Plus, you'll develop research-proven
communication strategies with your child through listening
activities, speaking "parentese," and sign language.
The Rhythm of My Day -- This class will help you bring more
rhythm and routine to your baby's day, as well as help develop
lasting learning skills. We'll show you how and tell you why music
can help your little one soothe into the day’s schedule and help
build a strong body and mind network for learning. You can bring
home those same stress-free play and relaxation techniques from
class, and incorporate them into your daily routines.
Fiddle-dee-dee -- We'll meet many animal characters in our
books, activities, and songs—each specifically chosen for a
toddler's emerging interests and physical skills. With silly, bumpy
lap bounces we'll help toddlers develop rhythm while further
developing their ever-emerging language skills. With a special
stringed instrument emphasis in the music from class, parents can
bring home the violin, cello, and orchestra sounds to help their
toddlers stay happy and engaged learners at home, too.
Cities! Busy Places ~ Friendly Faces -- In this unit, sidewalks,
elevators, skyscrapers, and world-traveling photographers are the theme.
Learning through the pretend play that preschoolers adore, we'll be
rhythmically busy playing storytelling games and handcrafting city
"buildings" from wax paper at home so we can make a cityscape in
class! Plus every activity has some at-home adaptations so the parent
can take part in the learning. With a pair of resonator bars as a featured
instrument, and a multicultural, jazzy collection of music, preschoolers
will develop the social and intellectual skills they'll need in school.
Semester Two -- Playing simple musical patterns and songs on the
featured instrument from the first session—the glockenspiel—is a central
focus this semester. While learning to sing a melody, and then play the
pattern on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into the understanding of
musical concepts such as piano and forte through orchestra-style music
such as the William Tell Overture and Peter and the Wolf. Music
appreciation and understanding continues with a complete introduction
to the instruments—and the families in which they're grouped—of the
orchestra.
Semester Four -- In this final semester, we'll introduce the recorder
instrument. As your child is introduced to basic methods of playing
simple melodic patterns and songs on this wind instrument, we'll
also incorporate the instruments, concepts, and songs from
previous semesters. With a special emphasis on multicultural
music, your child will learn to improvise and write music, as well as
experience the musical styles of the Pacific Islands, Europe, and
Africa; plus play special dances and children's games from around
the world, including Alpine dances, Mexico, and Ecuador.
