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.

I am a Texas certified teacher with a Bachelor of Science degree, from Texas A&M University-Kingsville, in Interdisciplinary Studies with a Reading specialization. In addition, I received a Master of Education degree from the University of Texas Pan American, and I am a Reading Specialist. I have 23 years of teaching experience with pre-school through middle school-aged children. I was licensed by Kindermusik International in 2003 and am trained and certified to teach all levels of the Kindermusik curriculum. Furthermore, I am a member of the Kindermusik Educators Association. Since my childhood, I have been involved in my church choir as a vocalist and instrumentalist. I also enjoy playing the guitar for fun, and sharing my love of music with my own children. Music has always been part of my life and I am thrilled to share it with the children of the Rio Grande Valley.
