OUR KINDERMUSIK STUDIO STORY
In 2014, I began a new thrilling journey.
I became... a mother.
From the first moment I heard my little one's heartbeat... I knew I wanted to help inspire my baby's future hopes, dreams and memories.
My research led me to the best early childhood curricula, the world leader in music and movement classes for children: newborn- seven years old: Kindermusik International!
Since 2017, we have had the honor of serving families on the Treasure Coast!
Each family we meet has shaped little "heartprints" on our studio's soul!
We have seen how this program has transformed hundreds of families!

"We love Kindermusik with Ms. Nicole! The classes are incredibly creative and engaging. Our little one has so much fun each week, and we have seen a lot of positive development.
We also love learning new tools like transition songs that we now use at home!
Thank you, Nicole!" - Sharon Hayes Packard- Indian River Healthy Start

OUR STUDIO MISSION
|
We promise to unleash the authenticity, joy and potential excellence of your student's soul through memorable musical experiences! We believe in stringing many meaningful MUSICAL moments... at EACH and EVERY CLASS. By celebrating you and your child's unique and creative ideas in class we assist you in learning how to engage them musically in your daily life! |
MUSIC makes BETTER FRIENDS! So, naturally, Kindermusik forges a close knit community where you can feel safe and nurtured along with other families!
When we feel safe we can soak up the brain boosting developmental benefits of music and movement... and we can THRIVE as HUMAN BEINGS.

Nicole, WHAT DO YOU ENJOY ABOUT TEACHING MUSIC THE MOST?
"Ooohhhhh... So many things! If I had to summarize it though..
I absolutely LOVE when we reach an "AHA!" moment either with our children or with a caretaker in our classes! You can tell when MUSIC has just made an impact not only on someone's mind but their HEART.
Its such a special glowing feeling and a GIFT that I get to experience EVERY DAY!"
