When Kindermusik first arrived in the United States in 1976, the Young Child curricula (ages 4.5 -7) was the only one that had been developed. Fast forward 37 years, and Kindermusik International offers music classes for newborn to age 7.
Children have many choices for activities and Kindermusik for the Young Child is often overlooked. Here is a glimpse of why you should consider the program for your child:
§
It
is the crème de la crème of the Kindermusik curriculum.
§
We
build on the fun we have had in the previous curricula. We begin to label the music concepts that
they experienced in Our Time and Imagine That!
§
The
children experience music making with their peers in ensemble experiences. This reinforces keeping a steady beat!
§
Glockenspiels
are used in the first year and serve as the vehicle to teach melody.
§
Dulcimers
and recorders are added in the second year of the Young Child curricula. The dulcimers introduce string instruments
and strumming a steady beat. Recorders
introduce wind instruments and encourage fine motor skills while reinforcing
note reading.
§
Instrument
demonstrations by college students and special guests enhance the child’s
learning about instrument families.
When
a child finishes the four-semesters of Young Child they will know notes in the
staff, rhythms patterns, composers, instrument families and have an
appreciation of music from various cultures.
