Village

(For Ages Newborn to 18 months)

A Bonding Experience
The Kindermusik Village class provides a delightful environment
unlike any other. Through a unique blend of multi-level activities
that include creative movement, vocal play, object and instrument
exploration, and a colorful literature component, baby’s growth
and development are stimulated and all senses engaged.

Calling All Babies & Early Toddlers!
Kindermusik Village is for lap babies, crawlers, and walkers. This
course incorporates the most current research on early childhood
development and provides families a special place for learning and
connecting with other parents and babies through music and
movement. Click here for our full schedule.

This Semester (Spring 2010):
Hop on the hayride—it’s time to head for the farm!
In this class, you will sing songs about the farm,
including “Old MacDonald,” “Hayride,” and “Clever
Cows.” You’ll engage in rituals and playful activities
with your baby, including infant massage, lap
bounces, exercise, and quiet time.

Home Materials: A picture board book with charming farm animals
and the sounds they make—Cock-a-doodle-Moo, a CD of the
songs heard in class, a Sunshine Jingle instrument for music-
making at home, and a set of Art Banners for the nursery wall.
Come join us to sing and play the day away!

"I have a Ph.D. in education, and I knew of the positive effects
of music on the cognitive development of babies. When I was
pregnant with my son, I read a book called Baby Teacher:
Nurturing Neural Networks from Birth to Age Five. The book
indeed praises the benefits of different kinds of music on
baby's brain development. So, having my baby in a music
class was something I wanted him to experience...

"I looked into other music programs, but both programs
seemed to me either too commercialized...or not specifically
appropriate for my son's age group... The more I learned
about Kindermusik both as a company and as a music
program, the more I liked it. Then the best was actually
attending the class and getting to know your way of teaching!"

- Carmina Brittain, Village parent

"Because of the day and time of the class, I had to pick between
this class and a mother-baby support group. I am so glad I
picked Village...The class has given us a starting off point to
exploring music that will last a lifetime.
I am glad I signed us up when I did!"

- Laura Bakar, Village parent
(Laura's daughter began Village when she was only 10 weeks old!)

"The Village Class is a fabulous class for newborns to 16
months. Even though your child cannot sing the class will help
your child build a good foundation in music. Music is
everywhere - at the stores, in your car, on hold on the phone,
and in your house. You may think that your child will not
benefit from music classes, but they will! They will learn to listen
and to play with rhythms and songs. They will get to interact
with other babies and you will learn different fun 'routines
and dances' to go with your home CD to make home playtime
memorable. Music is such a good foundation for babies to
start their lifelong learning process, and it's enjoyable for the
parents and babies."

- Katricia Navarrette, Village parent
