Wiggles and Giggles

First, we are on the sea in boats and under the sea pretending to be fish! We're splishing and splashing to help us explore steady beat - the underlying, regular pulse in music. Friendly water activities will bring learning home from hand washing to bath time, and Kindermusik last all week long.
In the meadow, we're moving fast - we're moving slow! We explore tempo with our friends, frog and squirrel down in the meadow, hopping, singing, dancing, and playing. When we ride here and there, we say, "Whoa Horsey!" We are riding all around the countryside with lap bounces, instrument play along, dances, and quiet snuggles. Join us as we explore tempos and patterns in music and everywhere!

2- and 3-year-olds have tons of energy and their own ideas. Level 2 classes are all about exploring creativity and enhancing cognitive development through singing, dancing, and instrument play, while grownups learn how to help unpack big emotions with music.

Kindermusik Level 2

Have a very independent toddler? Want them to be more independent? Level 2 classes give toddlers the opportunity to express their own ideas and creativity. They’ll learn new vocabulary, play instruments, and do things “their own way,” while making cognitive strides.

 

Class will not meet on:
Dec 23, 2025 - Jan 02, 2026

  • Whole Body
    Muscles used for posture and balance strengthen and toddlers gain alertness, self-control, and the ability to regulate movement.
  • Fine-Motor Skills
    Toddlers strengthen their finger and hand muscles, which increases fine motor skills needed to write.
  • Cognitive Development
    With repetitive songs and rhymes, toddlers strengthen their ability to memorize, sequence, and predict patterns.
