***This is a FORMING class. We need two more students to start this class.
In our infant classes, you and your baby will cherish your together time within a welcoming community of parents, sharing the challenges and joys of those first precious years.

Did you know sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.

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.

She has been designated a Top Program by Kindermusik International for many years. Annette began teaching Kindermusik in 1998 after falling in love with the program while attending classes with her daughter, Lauren. All 3 of her children are Kindermusik graduates. Her youngest daughter plays guitar and her oldest daughter is a Music Manager in Los Angeles. Annette received a Bachelor of Music from the University of Redlands and a Master of Music from the University of Michigan, both in Flute Performance. She is a free-lance flutist and taught flute for many years before starting her Kindermusik journey. Altogether she has been educating musicians from infants to teenagers for over 40 years. “I have found that my most raptured audiences are my little students when I play flute or piccolo for my Kindermusik classes”-Annette Her goal in class each week is to show you how to use music throughout your day to make life easier and more fulfilling as well as to to instill a lifelong love of music in your children. I look forward to welcoming you and your precious children to our Kindermusik family. -Annette
