Kindermusik is a fun and enticing way to introduce the very young child to music.
Kindermusik provides an excellent foundation for later instrumental study.

Encouraging the storyteller in your child, Imagine That continues his or her
creative, musical development while building on their preschool learning. Fun
musical exploration helps accustom children to being in class without a parent
or caregiver present for the entire time. Up to ten children meet weekly for 45
minutes to sing, move, listen, create and play instruments during this
multi-faceted stage of growth. Parents and siblings are invited to share in the
last 10 to 15 minutes of class. Class meets for 15 weeks.

Each week for 60 minutes, up to ten students explore many facets of
music-speaking and singing, moving, listening, creating and playing
instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. During each class,
creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing
or focused listening. The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a
pre-keyboard instrument, as well as string and woodwind instruments like the
dulcimer and recorder. Parents are invited to share in the last few minutes of
class. There are four 15-week sessions of the Young Child curriculum that can
be taken over a two year period. The capstone of Kindermusik, Young Child is
the perfect pressure-free preparation for private instruction.
