Level 3 Kindermusik (3-4 Years)
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. Using the Kindermusik curriculum, 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
