Community Music School :: Kindermusik

At Community Music School, we believe that music education should be a joyful experience for children. Numerous studies have recently determined how important music is in the overall development of the young child. For this reason, we are pleased to offer Kindermusik curricula for children from birth to age seven. A team of creative early childhood education and music specialists developed the Kindermusik curriculum. Each curriculum is designed for specific age groups and development levels and all include essential parental involvement. Kindermusik is a fun and enticing way to introduce the very young child to music and it provides an excellent foundation for later instrumental study. Miss Rachel, the CMS Kindermusik instructor, has over 12 years experience with the Kindermusik program and is beloved by all her students.
