Kindermusik Family Time class for families with multi-age children ages newborn and up

Come and bring all the children to the same class! We'll play instruments together, dance together, share, and take turns, and see how music can bring you closer as a family. Family Time is also open to any parent with only onechild also.

This one-room schoolhouse approach to music allows for older children to show the little ones how it's done and the younger ones are eager to learn. Family Time is a multi-layered learning environment. Basic musical concepts are presented each week along with the instruments and the structured free time to put those concepts into play.

Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play. Story time and family jams, puppet play and happy singing-all the Family Time activities encourage discovery and exploration and foster sharing and social skills too. In this special place for musical, social and emotional learning, your children will strengthen their ties with each other and with you-and they'll start developing the skills they'll need in school and on neighborhood playground.

Enjoy the Journey All Week Long

Each family receives a set of At Home Materials designed to integrate the classroom learning experience with the fun, activities you do together as a family. With music from class, story books, and creative play ideas and trivia, the At Home Materials help your children associate learning with the unique time you spend together, bonding as a family. Repetition and family involvement in a child's learning is a fundamental cornerstone of the Kindermusik philosophy because we believe the parent is the child's most important teacher and the home is the most important place for a child's learning to take place and grow.
