Kindermusik Athens, GA

Kindermusik Our Time encourages your child to uncover an engaging musical world while building confidence, self-control and communications skills. 

 

Our Time children, along with an accompanying parent or caregiver,  enjoy singing, dancing and moving creatively, listening and interacting socially, and exploring various age-appropriate, child-safe instruments through fun instrument play-alongs and exploration time.  Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Musical Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move. Singing, imitating sounds, rhyming and object identification foster language skills. Creative movement to various musical “moods” develops a sense of balance, timing and spatial awareness. Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.

 

 Benefits and Educational Goals:

  • Continues the goals of Village 

  • Integrates singing, movement, storytelling and instrument play

  • Encourages the development of pitch, rhythm, and listening skills

  • Provides a repertoire of songs, chants, and movements

  • Recognizes your child's need for both freedom to try and the assurance of your support.

  • Educates you about the interactive nature of the total development of your child through music, movement and literacy.

  • Encourages characteristics related to successful learning in school, such as self-confidence, creativity, self-expression, social skills and cooperation

  • Prepares child for future musical instruction by incorporating activities that naturally develop musical skills: focused listening skills which help develop concentration and attention span, vocal play for recognition and reproduction of pitches and rhythms, and movement activities that anchor concepts such as high/low, loud/soft, fast/slow, etc.

 

Enjoy the Journey All Week Long!

Kindermusik is much more than a weekly class and your Home Materials are just the tools you need to continue that one-of-a-kind experience together as a family. While your child's musical experience begins in the classroom, the Home Materials allow you to extend and reinforce musical activities to cultivate lifelong learning and musical enjoyment.  Family involvement in your child's learning experience is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy - we believe the parent is the child’s most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child to learn and grow. There’s no better way to nurture your child’s development – and you’ll love making music together – every day!
