Based on what parents have shared with us over the years and all the hugs and smiles we’ve gotten from our Kindermusik kids, we could probably list 100 reasons why you’ll love Kindermusik this Summer, but here are our top 10.

10 reasons to take a Kindermusik music class for kids this summer!

Fun summery themes

give you plenty of ways to create special memories and capture the carefree, feel-good joys of summertime.

Music, movement, stories, instruments, dancing, and creative play – your child will enjoy a stimulating class experience that fosters early learning, provides an outlet for energetic activity, and inspires a lifelong love for music.
Kindermusik fits your child perfectly with age-appropriate activities that enhance every area of your child’s physical, cognitive, and musical development.
Summer Kindermusik classes give your child the security of a comfortable, predictable routine. You’ll both be delighted to have such a special activity to look forward to during the summer.
It’s more than just a weekly class. With Kindermusik, you also receive Home Materials that allow you to extend the class experience and the benefits of music into your every day family life.
No other single activity you could choose this summer offers the integrated, creative, child-centered, musical experience that Kindermusik does.
When the temperatures outside soar, Kindermusik is the ideal indoor activity, keeping little minds and bodies happily engaged – in class and at home.
Summer time is the perfect time to try something new at Kindermusik – a Family Class, a new curriculum level, a new schedule – or just to try Kindermusik out for the first time.

Move to the Beat

We all know how wonderful Kindermusik is for your baby, but read what Parents magazine said in their article "Move to the Beat:"

"Playfully dancing or singing to your baby could boost his pre-language communication skills and make him easier to soothe, according to research from McMaster University, in Hamilton Ontario. In the study, 6-month-olds were assigned to take either an active music class, in which parents played musical games with their infant, or a passive music class, in which parents used blocks or read books with their baby while recorded music played in the background. After six months, the babies in the active class smiled more, were easier to soothe, and showed less distress in new situations than the infants in the passive class. "There's something about the rhythm and synchrony of music, and engaging in it together, that increases the social bond between a parent and child," says researcher Laurel J. Trainor, Ph.D., a professor in the department of psychology, neuroscience, and behavior."

Why Kindermusik?

WHY KINDERMUSIK? “Music is an essential part of everything we do. Like puppetry, music has an abstract quality which speaks to a worldwide audience in a wonderful way that nourishes the soul.” -puppeteer Jim Henson
