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.

April Keelin

Hi! My name is April Keelin. | have been in love with music since I was a little girl. At 7 years old, I started piano lessons, and when I was in 5th grade, I started playing the flute. L had continued those all through college. In high school, I became really interested in vocal music. ! was in many choirs, and decided to also take vocal lessons. In college, I was a vocal music education major with a piano minor and graduated in 1993. I started teaching music in the public school system in the fall of 1995. I went on to get my Masters degree in Music Education. in 1999. After many years, I decided to continue my education and get my National Boards in Early Childhood Music in 2020. Other endeavors include leading worship in Grayson, Kentucky; piano, flute and keyboard player at a church in Ashland, KY, giving piano lessons; and teaching Kindermusik for a couple of years in the Ashland, KY area before getting my National Boards Music is my passion and has been my life's work. My other passion is my family. I have been married to Todd for almost 19 years. I have 3 children: Morgan, Kylie and Caleb (Savannah). And now, have a beautiful granddaughter, Chandler, who just turned one. Besides music, they are my world.
