schedule change

If you are looking for a short Kindermusik unit, 'ABC Music & Me' is a great fit. If you're hesitant to commit to a semester-long class, these small units are great to try. There are only 4 classes and they are 30 minutes long-- the perfect opportunity to try Kindermusik with your little one. I originally offered these classes on Tuesday mornings, but have changed to Thursdays. See the class schedule on the left side of the page to see what might be a good fit for you. We hope to hear from you soon!

"We're so much more than just music!"

Kindermusik is so much more than just a music class...our age-appropriate curricula challenges your child mentally, physically, socially, and promotes creative growth. Join us for a free class and see what Kindermusik has to offer your little one. 

Give Your Brain a Work Out

Written by Kindermusik educator, Aimee Carter, as originally posted on her Delightful Sounds blog.  Amy offers Kindermusik classes through her program, Delightful Sounds, which is located in Brandon, Florida.


I was doing some research about the benefits of music study today and ran across an article about the effects of music study on the brain. I found the article particularly interesting because of the following quote: “The effect of music training suggests that, akin to physical exercise and its impact on body fitness, music is a resource that tones the brain for auditory fitness and thus requires society to re-examine the role of music in shaping individual development.”
Simply put, music is great exercise for the brain, particularly in those areas which affect listening, reasoning, and language skills. Parents who expose their children to musical activities, such as our Kindermusik classes, are giving their children an early advantage for enhanced development and academic success. The developmental foundation that is established in these young minds will increase memory function, listening skills, and creative learning. It is also interesting to note that this study specifically referenced these same benefits for children with special needs who participate in music training.

Why Kindermusik?

WHY KINDERMUSIK? “Children learn better with arts as part of the curriculum. They learn all their subjects better. They’re more engaged. Teacher attendance goes up. The child is happier; the teacher is happier.”-Jane Alexander, former Chair, National Endowment for the Arts
