What's the best class for my child?

 The age recommendations outlined for Kindermusik classes have been carefully constructed to best group children in an age and developmentally appropriate way.  It is important that your child be at least the minimum age by the start of the semester for the class in which you are enrolling.  If you have concerns about your child?s success in a particular age range, lets discuss your child?s needs and select the class best suited.

Can I preview a class before I sign up?

I am happy to schedule a free visit for new students. Please call or email for availability. 

 Plan to arrive about 5-10 minutes early for class.  Arriving a little before class provides time for your child to settle in to the musical environment.  We do request that toys be put away prior to class. Be sure to dress comfortably.  During class, the most important thing you can do for your child is to be an active and patient role model.  When you are an active, focused, enthusiastic participant in the class activities, your child will model your actions and focus more fully too.  It is not uncommon for a child to attend several classes before feeling comfortable in class.  Don?t be discouraged- what a child is absorbing in class is often evidenced in the comfort of the home rather than in a certain level of participation in class.  If for any reason you need to correct your child or just need a few minutes for you and your child to regroup, please do so outside of the classroom and return as soon as you are ready. The understanding and consistency of the parent or caregiver in class and at home are key to facilitating musical learning and growth.  You and your child will benefit from the Kindermusik experience, especially if you make active use of your At Home Materials.  Frequent reinforcement at home throughout the week makes all the difference in a child?s comfort and participation in the classroom.
