Over the thirteen years I have been attending Kindermusik classes, I have come to be able to spot a Kindermusik child a mile a way.
A Kindermusik child:
- is curious
- smiles a lot, even when alone
- is confident in his or her own voice
- enjoys hearing other children sing and play
- can be calmed, excited, or centered by music
- has the emerging patience to try and figure things out
- enjoys – and is proud of – belonging to a group
Now imagine if EVERY child shared these qualities. Might the news headlines look a bit different every morning...?
So to those who think arts education is not important enough to make a priority in our world, I say, “How would we know? We’ve never tried.”
