Fall 2017 session themes

Foundations (for infants from birth to early crawlers): Babies learn best when they explore and learn through their senses, so get ready for lots of multisensory fun with our Cuddle & Bounce units. Infants will delight in the variety of music, and enjoy being moved in many different ways though steady beat exercises, circle dances, free dances, lap bounces and more.  Babies will be exposed to rhythms and sounds through instrument exploration and play.  Sign language, stories, listening & vocal play are incorporated into each unit to enhance early literacy & communication

In Mama Goose nursery rhymes take center stage was we focus on speech and language development.  Music Makes My Day focuses on daily routines and incorporating music to create life-long rituals that enhance family social dynamics. Peekaboo is all about play!  We’ll learn fun games, songs & activities that build anticipation & provide fun surprises.  

Level 1 for crawlers & walkers up to age 2: Your active toddler is on the move.  Sing & Play is designed to engage your active toddler with lots of movement activities.  Spatial awareness development and positional vocabulary take center stage in Way Up High as we explore the sky, the weather, birds and butterflies through creative movement, singing, instrument play and other fun props.  Yum is all about delicious songs that will get us up and moving!  Little bodies will learn about music and movement concepts through abstract opposite pairs as we dance, move, play instruments, bounce and explore.  Being a toddler can be complicated.  There is so much they can do, and so much left to learn! In I Can Do That, we’ll explore confidence boosting activities that also enhance language and steady-beat awareness as we explore social & emotional development.  

Level 2 for preschoolers 2-4 years of age: Kindermusik offers your preschooler the best of everything. We’ve got social, emotional, early language, and motor skill development covered, plus your child gets the added benefit of music permeating everything we do to get those neurons firing! Have you noticed your child’s explosion in vocabulary, storytelling, and imagination? We know that preschoolers thrive on pretend play so Kindermusik classes include songs, stories, and instrument ensembles to nurture your child’s budding creativity. Bonus: it’s fun for everyone! With cognitive, emotional, and social benefits, a Kindermusik class is the perfect place for you and your preschooler.

Enter a festive world of music, movement and carnival fun in our first unit for Fall – Carnival of Music!  We’ll join a marching band, hop on an imaginary merry-go-round, and play multisensory games.  Plus there will be lots of instruments, singing, creativity and fun!

Our unit, Splash! is full of water-filled delight and surprise!  We’ll develop number sense and practice one-to-one correspondence, explore pre-ensemble skills and pretend while we explore opposites to expand understanding of abstract concepts.  Plenty of new songs and familiar favourites will engage, stimulate and grow little minds & bodies.

Science & music meet in Outside My Window where we’ll explore rhythm and dynamics along with patterning and categorizing while we discuss and discover different seasons of weather.

Level 3 for preschoolers 3&4 years of age: This drop-off style class for 3&4-year-olds fosters your child's growing independence while actively engaging their senses in a rich multi-sensory musical experience.  Preschoolers are actively expanding their base of knowledge through trial and error, talking, moving, and yes, even being a little silly at times!  There’s no limit as to how far a little imagination, a lot of music, the joy of being with friends, and some Sharing Time with family can take these eager learners who are also on their way to becoming independent learners. Parents/caregivers & siblings return and enjoy the last 10 minutes together for sharing time.  Enjoy Carnival of Music, Splash! and Outside My Window this fall.

Mixed-Ages(0-4) & Family-Style for children up to age 7: Each Kindermusik family class is a happy shared experience full of singing, moving, cuddling, family jams, and more.  Whether you’re bringing one child or more, you’ll love the time to explore, discover, share, make friends, and just be together as you learn and play.  From newborn to Grandpa and everyone in between, there’s room in a Kindermusik class for everyone!  This fall we'll explore Carnival of Music, Splash! and Outside My Window.
