Kindermusik Our TimeIn Kindermusik's Our Time program, children from 18 months to 3 years of age are accompanied by a parent or caregiver while they are encouraged to be creative and to initiate his/her own ideas. Each lesson provides a balance of movement, singing, chanting, listening and playing simple instruments in a joyful, loving atmosphere. As you play instruments, sing, move, and explore, you’ll uncover an engaging musical world while building your child’s confidence, self-control and communications skills.

An interactive story time is included in each class as well. The sequence of each lesson is carefully planned to help the child move from the security of being with the adult to activities that invite him or her to show more independence.

What you’ll experience in class:

  • Instrument exploration and ensemble skill development. Your child will explore the physical characteristics and sounds of age-appropriate instruments which will eventually lead her to discover her potential for beat, rhythm, and melodic ensemble playing.Learn about musical birthday parties at the Music Clubhouse
  • Vocal play. Through vocal play, toddlers learn to form vowels and consonants, say words and phrases, and imitate rhythm and vocal inflection. In Kindermusik Our Time, vocal play is presented within the context of songs, chants, and activities done in class.
  • Exploration Time. Your child will love discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements.
  • Story time and early literacy. Listening to stories enhances language and speech development and fosters awareness of sounds, teaches use of language, and sends the message that words and symbols have meaning. The same experiences that help your child learn to read a book also help her learn to read music.
  • Movement Activities. Each class provides various opportunities for movement such as synchronized movement, group dances and circle games, and even expressive movement.
