Behold . . . the Power of Kindermusik!
Yes, it's a bit dramatic, but 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 significant 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
Kindermusik
At Sonoma County Children's Music we offer the entire Kindermusik core curricula from infancy through first grade. Each class level has new curriculum each semester so a child can attend up to 7 years without repeating a session. Click on the link to the appropriate class for your childs age group. If your child is on the overlapping borderline between 2 curricula we recommend that they join as an older child in a class their first semester, not as the youngest. If you have any questions about what class would be right for your child please contact the director or read the "Ages and Stages of Transition" page.
