Village (0-18 months with parent/caregiver) – Kindermusik Adventures: Busy Days and Peekaboo, I Love You!

Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers. It incorporates the most current research on early childhood development and provides families a special place for learning and connecting with other parents and babies through music and movement.

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 store, the playground, the doctor, and more.

 

Peekaboo, I Love You! - In five lessons, learn new songs, lullabies, and ways to say "I love you" using touch, Mother Goose rhymes, literature books, and chants. Activities include instrument play, American Sign Language, and special parent-baby dances that stimulate your baby's eyes, body and mind. Parents connect with other newborns and families in the community as well as learn how music improves the child development process.

Classes are Saturdays at 11:15am (Busy Days begins May 25/2013; Peekaboo begins July 13/2013).  Sessions run for 5 weeks each.

      

Our Time (1.5-3 years with parent/caregiver) – Kindermusik Adventures: Creatures in My Backyard and Zoo Train

Our Time reflects the emotional foundations of school readiness and the latest research on music and early childhood development. This class is a unique opportunity for parent and child to interact and learn together in an unhurried and joyful manner.

Creatures in My Backyard - Give your child something to talk about—or sing about—in her own backyard. Your toddler will learn all about the animals you see every day: Woodpeckers, caterpillars, ladybugs, flowers, rabbits and so much more. Through music, creative movement, puppet play, instrument exploration, storytelling and singing, your child will uncover the wonder of these creatures living in your own backyard.

 

Zoo Train - Five lessons feature music, stories, crafts and snacks to stimulate a toddler's emerging sense of imagination, coordination, and ability to learn more words. Tag along this summer with a traveling zoo-train; bring your own stuffed animal for the petting zoo; wear long white socks on your hands for polar bear paws; and learn about real animals in the zoo. Sing songs in new languages. Parents also learn more about child development and how music improves a toddler's ability to think, reason, create, and express.

Classes are Saturdays at 9:30am (Creatures begins May 25/2013; Zoo Train begins July 13/2013).  Sessions run for 5 weeks each.

Is your preschooler or school-aged child eager for a summer camp experience, but not quite ready for a full-day program?  Try Kindermusik Adventures Camp and watch them blossom!

Imagine That! (3-5 years) – Kindermusik Adventures Camp: On the Road

Imagine That! is designed for active, energetic, enthusiastic, and imaginative children ages 3 to 5. Classes encourage socialization, sharing, and participating in group activities.

 

On the Road - Your summer vacation becomes a musical learning theme, and makes the most of a preschooler's burgeoning imagination and ability to learn more words and solve problems. Take imaginary trips to summer vacation locations such as the carnival, a summer cottage, and the beach. Crafts use simple materials—most can be found around the house. You'll also learn more about how music improves your preschooler's ability to think, reason, create and express.

Classes are 1-hour, Monday – Friday at 11am (July 29-August 2/2013).  Session runs for 1 week.

Young Child (4-7 years) – Kindermusik Adventures Camp: Tell Me a Tale

Young Child prepares the young child who is eager for first experiences with musical symbols and instrument discovery but is not yet ready for formal lessons and traditional music reading with an instrument.



Tell Me a Tale - Through storytelling, your child will develop an early awareness of rhythm, movement, singing, and drama. Each lesson features a new tale from around the world, explored through multi-instrument and multi-cultural elements. All told, it's an around-the-imagination adventure of the greatest stories from Europe, Malaysia, South Africa, and more.

Classes are 1-hour, Monday – Friday at 11am (July 29-August 2/2013).  Session runs for 1 week.



Family Time (0-7 years with parents/caregivers/siblings) – Movin’ and Groovin’

Family Time brings adults and children of all ages together, providing a dynamic and integrated musical learning experience for everyone.

 

Movin’ & Groovin’ is a romping, rolling, stretching good time for the whole family. This ten-lesson unit of Family Time will explore lots of different ways to move—high and low, fast and slow, zigzag, curvy, and more. Family members will chug around the classroom like trains, clip-clop like horses, and roll over like puppy dogs. They’ll hear a story about playing tag together in Can You Catch Me?, and read about a jungle hokey-pokey in Put Your Left Paw In. Show your best groovin’ moves—it’s time for Movin’ & Groovin’.

Classes are Wednesdays at 6:15pm (beginning June 26/2013).  Session runs for 10 weeks.
