Everything in Kindermusik’s At Home Materials has a learning purpose for your child. That’s because more than 25 years of early childhood development research applies to every instrument, CD, book, activity, song, and game.Kindermusik believes that you are your child’s first and most important teacher. We also know that children learn best through repetition, and that often they learn best where they’re most comfortable - at home. Your At Home Materials empower you to take Kindermusik from class to home where the games, songs, dances, books, and quiet times make it easy for you to infuse music, joy, learning, and togetherness into your daily routine.

What you’ll see happening in class:
Sing. When a child sings in the appropriate vocal
range, toddlers and preschoolers begin to explore
their voices and emerging pitch accuracy—but the
benefits go beyond building strong singers. Singing
develops memory and recall, lung and cardiovascular
strength, as well as creativity, and socialization.
Simply hearing those voices also helps a baby
develop her own vocal skills.
Play. Musical instrument and prop-play throughout
the semester builds strong finger muscles, and
develops a sense of rhythm. Plus, hoops, scarves,
and tumble-around activities develop coordination.
Move. With growing coordination and interest in
their peers, younger children will watch the older
ones and learn how to skip and gallop.
Listen. Throughout the class, the children are listening
to instruments, to each other, and to specially
designed opportunities to focus in on developing
critical listening skills.
Story Time. When children listen to a story in a
group, they watch the reactions of each other,
helping to stimulate curiosity, expand knowledge,
and develop a life-long love of reading.
Family Jam. Everyone grabs an instrument and
plays along with the music—helping children
experiment with a variety of instruments and
sounds.
