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.

 

Class will not meet on:
Dec 23, 2025 - Jan 01, 2026
Jan 13, 2026 - Jan 15, 2026
Mar 17, 2026 - Mar 19, 2026

  • 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.

Studio Policy

With this enrollment, I release any and all rights and claims for damages against Joyful Sound Studio and its staff or Leander Presbyterian Church in the unlikely event of injury sustained by myself or my child(ren) during the course of or as a result of this musical activity, and allow you to send me class-related emails. I also understand that: If I need to change my child's class day and time, I may contact you at any time. Otherwise, I'll stay enrolled in the same class from September to May during the school year. Should I need to withdraw before the start of classes, I understand that my registration payment is nonrefundable and will instead be put as a credit on my account for a future enrollment. Should I need to withdraw after classes begin, my enrollment may be cancelled by providing 30 days written notice (must include a 2-month minimum enrollment). I will still be responsible for the full cost of my child's home materials received, as well as music access and tuition for the time I am officially enrolled (including during the 30 days after notice is given). I understand that this may result in either a debit or a credit based on what has been paid so far towards my school-year total. SCHOOL YEAR: I understand that Joyful Sound studio is not 'pay by the month' and that the TOTAL cost of 30 classes + Home Materials cost has been added together. The Grand Total has been divided into 9 equal installments. If I have registered partway into the year, my 1st payment has been adjusted accordingly to reflect the missed classes. SUMMER PROGRAMS: 30 days written notice if I need to withdraw before the end of the summer term. I will still be responsible for the full cost of my child's home materials.
