     You may now register online! Click over to Registration, then Summer, and fill in the Registration form. Then you can either print it or submit it.  If you print it, you can mail it, fax it, or bring it to the office. If you submit it, you will be taken to a shopping cart.  Click on Summer. The amount will be $0.  When you select summer tuition, you will be asked for your credit card information.  We will charge the correct amount in the office. This is a secure location to give us your credit card information and send you a statement. You are registered in the class when we receive a Registration Form and PAYMENT.  You may also submit the form, then call us with your credit card.  Call the office if you have questions and we will be glad to help.

     If enrolling in one session, you must pay for the session when enrolling.  If enrolling in more than one session, you may pay for each subsequent session by one of the following: writing a post-dated check for the due date or have your credit card charged on the due date.

     Materials are required by Kindermusik International for each enrolled child.  You must pay for the materials when registering.  Sibling Materials are for additional children in the SAME class OR if you have a previous child who took the class and you already have the materials.  Sibling Materials contain only one extra instrument.  If you already have the materials, you must bring the materials to your first class to show that you have them.  The same materials are used in all three sessions so only one set of materials is needed for the entire summer.

Course Descriptions & Fees

6 Months to 3 years

Session A and Session B

     Bring sign language into your hearing child's world as your child learns to communicate with his hands.  Using his hands, he can say what he means, and a parent can understand what he needs.  You'll have the tools to learn American Sign Language signs.  This research-proven program speeds language development in hearing children, eases frustration, and enhances long-term learning abilities.  At Home Materials for each 5-week session include a Family Activity Book, a DVD, a glossary of 60 signs and Flashcards using family-friendly ASL signs. 

Class Length: 40 minutes with a parent/caregiver. 

Session Length: 5 weeks each session. 

Session A: June 1-29

Session B: July 13-August 10. Each session is unique so you may enroll in Session A or Session A and B.  It is best to take Session A before taking Session B. 

Materials $43 for Session A and $43 for Session B.   No Sibling Materials needed for additional children enrolled in the class.

Tuition: $60 each session (only $12 per class!)

Newborns-18 months with a parent/caregiver

"Busy Days "

     Set your baby's day to classical music.  With a little more Tchaikovsky in your "Twinkle, Twinkle" repertoire you'll discover new ways your baby benefits from the classics as you both develop an appreciation for the world's most respected music.  Each lesson features new activities and songs you can sing for all the places you go together--the grocery store, the park, the doctor, the beach, the pool, and a family picnic reunion.

     Imagine your smiling baby dancing with you or playing peek-a-boo under a scarf.  Through a unique blend of activities that includes massage, exercises, singing and vocal play, fingerplays, creative movement, instrument exploration and literature, your baby's development is stimulated and all of his senses engaged.  The activities also nurture baby's cognitive, emotional, social and physical development.  Babies learn through being emotionally involved in the activities and what better way than through the vehicle of the world's most respected name in early childhood music....Kindermusik?! AND YOU!

"Zoo Train"

Children love to go to the zoo!  What excitement to see the many animals, hear and imitate their sounds, move like them and ride the train around the park. Take a ride on the carousel before going on a picnic on a summer day.  We'll sing, listen to sounds, move and dance, listen to stories, play instruments and move our bodies as we imagine all the fun at the zoo!  Your child will explore his own world through music while fostering language skills and blossoming social skills.  Playing shakers is not only fun, but your child is learning music skills that will improve his musical aptitude for future music instruction and help prepare him for preschool.

"On the Road"

     "On the Road!" was inspired by children's love of family adventures and the lifelong memories they build.  It re-creates the cozy delight of family travels: singing rounds in the car, making up songs, harmonizing, playing "I Spy."  We will be pretending to find shapes in the clouds to pass the time, discovering constellations in the night sky, roasting banana boats and s'mores, singing songs and telling ghost stories by the campfire, exploring the shoreline, enjoying puzzles and card games on a rainy day.  And throughout the camp, each child will create his own private, magical world of imagination and play as we go on a pretend road trip, enjoy a day at the cottage, have fun at the fair, enjoy a day at the beach and go camping!

      Children will learn the process of listening, turn-taking, sound discrimination and patterning.  Children develop self-control and social skills and enjoy chants, movement and music for development of steady beat.  The musical activities foster language skills and blossoming social skills.  Dramatic play activities are integrated with music, vocal development, story time and movement to capture your child's potential to learn and to encourage his cognitive, literacy and musical skills, creativity and individuality.  Making music together is not only fun, but your child will increase his musical aptitude for future music instruction and success in school during this "window of opportunity" time frame in his life!

Regular Materials: $43. Includes a hardbook literature book, a wooden frog guiro instrument, a CD, a Lyric Book and Home Activity poster.

Tell Me a Tale

     How often our favorite childhood memories involve stories and beloved stroytellers!  Century after century and all around the world, children have climbed into the laps of mothers, fathers, aunts, uncles, grandparents, and dear family friends to snuggle, laugh, and sing, and to hear and tell their favorite tales again and again.  "Tell Me a Tale" springs from Kindermusik's commitment to keeping these literary traditions alive, bringing literature to life through music using the best possible developmentally appropriate learning experiences.  Some of the featured tales are the European tale of "The Bremen Town Musicians", the Malaysian tale of "The Clever Mouse Deer", "The Six Blind Men and the Elephant" from India , the Appalachian tale of "Lazy Jack" and "Where Stories Come From" from South Africa.

     Children will develop an awareness of musical elements, listening and social skills.  The children learn while having fun and developing a joy for music.   Your budding musician will not realize how much fun he is having while he is learning in this pressure-free, developmentally appropriate transition where he can musically succeed before taking formal music instruction.  Your child will experience authentic songs and stories, move to music, play percussion instruments from around the world.  Early music training increases the music aptitude for future music instruction by laying solid foundations and preparing the ear and most important, the attitude of love for music and a willingness to practice a chosen instrument later on.

Materials: $43. Materials include a literature book, a CD, Lummi Sticks and a Home Activity Poster. 

Sibling Materials $20. (Lummi Sticks only). For the 2nd child in the SAME class.  If you already have the materials, bring them to the first class.

Tuition: Session 1: $56. Session 2: $56.  Session 3: $28. (Only $14 per class!)

Class Length: Each class is 60 minutes in length, with the parents and siblings joining us for the last 10 minutes.

Session Length.  Session 1 contains 4 classes, one per week.  Session 2 contains 4 classes, one per week.  Session 3 contains 2 classes, one per week.

Each session is unique so join us for one session or all three sessions!
