Kindermusik Level 1

Kindermusik Level 1 classes give young toddlers room to explore! This special group experience gives toddlers a chance to learn new movement and language skills through dance, creative movement, echo songs, and more.

 
  • Body Awareness
    As toddlers move in different ways, they begin to understand their own bodies and develop self-control of movement.
  • Gross- and Fine-Motor Skills
    Toddlers begin to develop basic gross-motor skills and coordination, as well as better control over fine-motor movement.
  • Math and Language Fundamentals
    Toddlers begin to recognize patterns in music and have an increased sense of steady beat, both skills linked to math and language.

Kara Spector

Kara Spector has been a local music educator for over 20 years. She graduated with honors from Northwestern University with a BM in Music Education and a BA in Creative Writing, and later received her MAEd in Gifted Education from Northestern Illinois University. While at NU, Kara was conductor of the SAI Music Fraternity for Women's Beta Chapter Choir (where she was both a Sword Of Honor recipient and College Honor Award Recipient), and the assistant conductor of the Cantores Minores Chicago Boys Choir. Her career began with a decade as a public school music, language arts and gifted education teacher. During this time, Kara also fostered her passion for teaching and performing in musical theatre and has since enjoyed a long standing relationship with Big Deal Productions where she frequently works as a music director and choreographer in children's musical theatre productions and Broadway bound camps (sometimes you can even catch her onstage!) Kara also maintains a private voice studio of over 30 talented young and adult singers from across the Northshore. Her Kindermusik journey began when Miss Cathy, a friend from the community theatre scene, invited Kara and her new babies to class, and the rest, as they say, is history. She is delighted to bring the joy of Kindermusik to you and your children.
