Kindermusik for Little Musicians is a magic journey of musical wonderment. The perfect step between early childhood music classes and private lessons, these classes nurture your child’s emerging musical talents. Through intentional musical play, children develop their singing voices, begin reading music on the staff, and create their own musical compositions. At the end of our Kindermusik journey, a beautiful graduation will celebrate your little one’s transformation into a ‘little musician’.
Level 3 (3-4yrs)
Inspired by a world of musical make-believe, your preschooler will be immersed in imaginative play activities combined with music, storytelling, movement, and listening to bolster sensory, language, and cognitive abilities. As a Little Musician, your young one will be introduced to music vocabulary and symbols, begin reading basic rhythms, and learn how to play a steady beat on mallet and percussion instruments. Your child will gain a deeper discovery of their singing voice as well as cultivate their ensemble skills including playing at certain points or changing instruments during a song.
- Balance your preschooler’s need for independence, emotional security, and self-regulation while building friendships, learning to share, and empathizing with others
