More than 5,000 licensed educators use the Kindermusik curricula in more than 35 countries, reaching 1 million families. Kindermusik International has more than 25 years of experience creating curricula based on new and proven research in child development. The award-winning books, CDs, games, and instruments nurture skills in the whole child: cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language.

In a Kindermusik class, educators lead a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child's unique developmental process, and the shared learning experience creates a special bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play.

Movement and dance activities improve coordination and balance. One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem. Music-making and music listening activities develop self-discipline, as well as critical and creative thinking skills. The learning process continues at home, guided by specially designed books, CDs, and games.

Kindermusik is passionately committed to its core philosophy. This means that our classes are:
|
|
- child-centred
|
- developmentally appropriate
|
- concerned with the whole child
|
- focussed on process, not performance
|
- inclusive of parents
|
- based around high-quality learning materials in class and at home
|
- and of course, fun!
|
|
Kindermusik is still relatively new in the UK and Ireland compared to the rest of the world but already it has a significant following and is growing quickly. Both educators and parents report on how its high quality and depth of research offer a rich experience for children, from the time they are first learning about the world, to the time they may begin formal musical learning at school.
