Cities! Busy Places, Friendly Faces (spring)

This unit transports your child into a city,

where ordinary sounds and sights on the

street make a musical ensemble. People

shuffle their feet to a 4/4 beat. Street

musicians serenade and sing. Clock towers

boom, bellow and ring. The class will create a

city that's familiar, yet like no other. Using visual tools and home activities, children will transform the classroom, build a city out of handcrafted "buildings" and walk down sidewalks made of masking tape and freezer paper. The two literature books are Razupatu Toto and Down Our Street. Resonator Bars are the featured instrument.

Hello Weather, Let's Play Together (fall)

This unit explores sunshine, rain, snow,

thunderstorms and more in this imaginative

and delightful weather-related musical

adventure. Whether creating storm sounds on

a drum or throwing pretend snowballs,

children and their families are encouraged to

get outdoors and enjoy the world around them. The two literature books are Michael Finnigin and Hurry Home Little Kittens featuring the Italian song "Funiculi, Funicula." Ankle Bells and a Rain Shaker/Scraper are the featured instruments.

Consistency is needed in times of change...

Is your child starting pre-school? Are you concerned that keeping Kindermusik in his/her schedule will overload him/her? Actually, the opposite is true. With all the changes in his/her life, keeping him/her in Kindermusik provides the consistency required to make the transition easier. With life getting busier, and your child's activities more independent in nature, Kindermusik is one place the two of you can spend time focused on each other.

Imagine That! takes you and your child on a musical journey of discovery and exploration…a journey limited only by the power of imagination. Pretend play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, storytelling, movement and literature to capture your child's potential to learn and to encourage cognitive and literacy skills, creativity and individuality. Imagine That! is designed for active, energetic, enthusiastic and imaginative pre-schoolers and encourages socializing, sharing and participating in group activities. Singing becomes a focus for enhancing the pre-schooler’s vocal development as his expressive language is just beginning to emerge.

Toys I Make, Trips I Take (spring)

What's more exciting to a 3-or 4-year-old than

a new toy? How about an entire Toy Shop full

of toys! A remarkable toy shop, filled with

boats, trains, balls, jack-in-the-box and many

other toys is exactly what your child will

enjoy. While activities are centered on a child's pretend play and imagination, the unit firmly integrates the learning process by placing a strong musical emphasis on singing, steady beat and ensemble, as well as rhythm and rhythmic patterns. The two literature books are Tippity Tippity Too and If I Had a Big Blue Boat. A specially designed drum is the featured home instrument.
