"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 |
