Kindermusik Athens, GA

In Kindermusik for the Young Child classes, your child will meet composers, discover music of other countries, learn how to read musical rhythms and pitches and play them on instruments all while enjoying fun musical games and songs! 

Play remains the primary way a Young Child learns, so throughout the curriculum there is a consistent effort to balance active learning with the emotional reasoning aspects of a young child’s development in mind. Kindermusik for the Young Child curricula offers a pressure-free approach to learning which is often more age-appropriate (and fun!) than piano or other instrumental lessons, but concrete enough to stimulate his mind which is ready for the abstract thinking processes that music requires. And four sequential semesters allow your child to grow through Kindermusik, developing skills that lead to successful experiences in later music instruction.

In every semester of Young Child children will learn about rhythms, pitches, musical concepts and terminology, composers, multi-cultural music and more!!!!  Semester 1 broadens the child's musical experience through the introduction of the glockenspiel (an instrument similar to a xylophone).  Developing steady beat and learning to read and write musical notation in this class will help build a firm foundation for future success in music instruction.   Semester 2 continues exploration of the glockenspiel as we further study notation and the staff, playing the notation we are learning to read!  In Semesters 3 & 4 we'll continue our musical journey, learning more about rhythms and pitches while playing the glockenspiel, dulcimer and recorder - allowing your Young Child to explore the 3 basic types of instruments he may later study in private lessons:

1. Keyboard: Glockenspiel ---> Piano

2. String:      Dulcimer -------> Guitar or Violin Family

3. Wind:       Recorder -------> Brass or Woodwind Instruments

 Benefits and Educational Goals:

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!
