Kindermusik® For the Young Child

COMMUNITY MUSIC SCHOOL

Ages: 5-7 years old, parent or caregiver attend the last 10 minutes 

For your budding musician, Kindermusik for the Young Child provides an exciting, pressure-free class where your big kid can develop a strong musical foundation by learning the concepts, language, notation, and vocabulary of music and its greatest composers.  Through a variety of fun things for kids, engaging activities, Young Child students explore rhythm, notation, musical symbols and authentic pre-keyboard, string and woodwind instruments – as well as their own instrument, the voice. You’ll be amazed as your child astonishes you with his newfound ability to create musical compositions and you’ll love the many ways our kids music classes prepare your young musician for a successful future in school and in music lessons.
