What Do The Experts Say?

Your infant, toddler, or preschooler will truly benefit from Kindermusik classes.

Behold . . . the Power of Kindermusik!

Okay, we know we’re being a bit dramatic, but I’m afraid we won’t apologize. The research about music and children’s development is truly stunning. More and more, the eyes of the research community turn to music as a vehicle to deliver a learning experience to children.
The bottom line: early, positive, and age-appropriate experiences with music—like a Kindermusik program—can have a remarkable and research-proven impact on your child’s:

• language and literacy skills (vocabulary, comprehension, listening, expression)
• social and emotional development
• mathematics and pattern-recognition skills
• ability to plan, guide, and self-regulate their behavior

We know it’s a lot to take in, so we’ve summarized the latest research into these downloadable booklets. Have a look . . .

It is even been proven that these cognitive increase according to the number of years the student engages in active music learning.
