A miraculous place for you and your baby
Cuddle, bounce, and bop with your baby in Kindermusik’s newest curriculum. Whether your baby is five weeks or five months, this class will be perfect for you! With age-appropriate activities for newborns, infants and crawlers, this parent-child music and movement class will help you strengthen those early parent-child bonds, understand your baby’s development, and heavily focus on child development and communication with your baby. You and your baby will enjoy instrument play, dance, exploration time, and together time—and you’ll get expert advice and parenting resources based on the most recent research in baby development.
What you’ll experience in class:
• Variety of music. Musical diversity builds strong neural networks in a baby’s forming mind, which is why each Kindermusik class contains an array of styles, sounds, and genres. Plus, we offer a whole years worth of different units and themes for each agegroup providing a regular cycle of new music and activities to keep both parents and babies engaged and delighted.
• Instrument play. Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhances a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develops a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourages spontaneity and creativity.
• Dance. A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.
• Signing. Exposure to the tools you need will help you get started using sign language to help your child communicate with you before he can even speak.
• Together time. A Kindermusik class is truly the essence of “quality time,” offering you a place to create special memories with your child, gain new insights into your child’s development, and nurture your child’s natural love of music.
• Expert advice. A Kindermusik educator explains “what-to-watch-for” every step of the way and how each activity enhances your child’s complete development.
• Learning continues at home. Each class includes a set of Home Materials, so the learning continues at home with your child’s best teacher—you!

Playing “marching band” around the coffee table
Brothers and sisters singing on road trips, putting on puppet shows from behind the couch complete with their own soundtrack…Grab the camera as your kids develop lifelong friendships with each other and create a lifetime of musical memories! You’ll play instruments together, dance together, share, and take turns, and see how music can bring you closer as a family.
A one-room schoolhouse approach to music. With older children ready to show the little ones how it’s done and the younger ones eager to learn, Wiggle & Grow Family Classes become a multi-layered learning environment. Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, pretend play and happy singing—all the activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you—and they’ll start developing the skills they’ll need in school and on the neighborhood playground.
What you’ll experience in class:
• Singing. From the first “Hello” song to the last “Goodbye,” exploring a variety of musical styles and genres leads children to find their own voice. Plus singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization. Even better, we offer two years worth of different units and themes.
• Assorted Movement. Whether moving as a family, as a class, or as individuals, Family Wiggle & Grow movement activities enhance coordination skills, create opportunities for imitation and exploration, and give everyone something to smile, rock, bounce, or dance about.
• Story Time. Reading aloud to children stimulates their curiosity, expands their knowledge, and broadens their understanding of language.
• Family Jam. Children (and adults) will love selecting a unique instrument and joining in one big class jam session each week.
• Musical Concepts. Fun engaging activities bring out the musicality in everyone, from the youngest member of the family to the oldest. Together you’ll learn more about music as you learn more about each other.
• Expert advice. A Kindermusik educator explains how our musically based activities enhance your child’s complete development.
• Learning continues at home. With the Home Materials (music, books, and more activities and games) the learning continues at home with your child’s best teacher—you!
