" Ms. Nicole is an incredible teacher, and she truly loves her students. During distance learning, she’s done a drive by gift drop off, sent personalized musical video messages, and worked incredibly hard to make Zoom classes engaging for toddlers! Our son LOVES his musical video messages from Ms. Nicole! He looks forward to seeing Ms. Nicole and the other children - even virtually! I am so grateful for the continuity Ms. Nicole and Kindermusik have helped to provide during this time. We have a lot of fun, and it is a meaningful part of our pre-COVID lives -- even if it looks a little different!" - Sharon P. May 2020 |

Which Class Should I Enroll in?
Our baby music classes for ages Newborn - 12 months will offer sensory-rich instrument activities in a gentle environment which engage and strengthen the foundations of their neural pathways, development and enhance a growing parent-child bond.
Benefits also include social play with other babies, cuddling and rocking time with parents and fingerplays/ movement activities that develop gross and fine motor skills which start them in their exploration to become new walkers! 
Our toddler (& Siblings welcome!!) classes will encourage your child to be creative, to initiate her own ideas, and to respond in her own ways, while your presence and participation offer needed reassurance and support! Exploration activities include playing of instruments, singing and moving to music and the acting of simple stories and rhymes.
These activities have been proven to build self-confidence, self-control, and communication skills! Your Kindermusik teacher will help you understand each activity with your little one and will share tips and digital materials for weaving music into your daily routines at home! |
Level 1 contains activities appropriate for toddlers between the ages of 12 and 24 months, all conducted in an open-ended, playful environment designed to address each child’s interests and developmental needs. We integrate the use of ASL, music and movement activiites, rhymes and fingerplays as well as an interactive storytime! All of our activities are also available through online digital materials which we encourage you to keep trying at home every day!
Our Mixed Level classes are perfect for families that have multiple children and mixed age levels! They promote family bonding and accomodate all levels of learning and musical ability. We use all the methods from our specific age level classes in a combined classroom of music & movement activities. Instruments and ideas are utilized that will satisfy and challenge each age level that encourages joyful and imaginative participation! . |
