Kindermusik Foundations

The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

 
  • Movement Control
    Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
  • Social Adaptability
    Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
  • Listening and Communication Skills
    Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
  • Language and Literacy Development
    Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.

Ms. Pat has loves using music to help children learn, and loves the results of her work at Kindermusik where she sees children taking their ideas and translating thoughts into written music! Students who have completed the Kindermusik program with Ms. Pat are in demand with local private music teachers, too, because of their strong start in music. She loves to make music with others, whether at her church job where she is the Director of Traditional Worship, playing the organ and directing adult and children's choirs. Another outlet has been organizing a string quartet who play music with and for seniors at retirement homes. A Kindermusik educator for ten years, she also has a degree in music and has received the Maestro distinction from Kindermusik. She hopes you'll join her making music with your children through the songs and activities you learn at Kindermusik, and throughout your life with your family. Kindermusik is a great start in life, whether you're raising a musician or a mathematician or a mother. Join us for a class and stay through their early childhood. She says, "And don't wait too long, so I can remember your kids as babies, too!"
