| How many ways can Baby and Parent zoom in Kindermusik Village? Hop in the Zoom Buggy! and find out! Through a variety of songs, chants, and instrumental selections you and Baby will experience the rumbling of a baby buggy, the squeaky stroller, the bumpa bumpa bumpa of the wagon, the train chugging up the track and much more. (7 weeks beginning Sept. 10) Baby is the star in Dream Pillow, with each activity carefully planned to stimulate his developing brain, thereby promoting physical, social, cognitive, emotional, and language development. But it is the parent who is watching and guiding this little star on the rise, and Dream Pillow, like all Village units, is written with the parent very much in mind. (7 weeks beginning Oct. 29)

| Imagine the aroma of baking cookies, the coziness of the family kitchen, the chatter among sisters, brothers, grandmas, granddads, mom and dad, and the anticipation and excitement of having friends come to visit. Captured in Milk & Cookies, these special moments at home are times to be shared and treasured. Milk & Cookies songs and activities promote interaction between parent and child where the parent gently guides their child's learning and the process of scaffolding takes place. Capturing the security, excitement and familiarity of "at home" moments is the ideal theme for empowering the parent to act as teacher. (14 weeks beginning week of Sept. 8, ending week of Dec. 15)

 (5 - 6 yrs) 14 weeks Session |
A Young Child students explore many facets of music – speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. Creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing or focused listening. The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and string and woodwind instruments like the dulcimer and recorder. The capstone of Kindermusik, Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for formal instruction in piano, violin or voice. Semester 1 of Kindermusik for the Young Child opens the world to new and different ways of learning about music. The focus and content includes beat versus no beat, percussion instruments, brass instruments, melodic direction, exploring the staff, and notation. Semester 1 also introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument. Themes include "Music is Everywhere", "Meet the Mallets", and "Discovering Melody and Mozart." (14 weeks beginning week of Sept. 8, ending week of Dec. 15)
