Home Materials include: a family Activity Guide, hand and finger puppets, two CD's of music from class, two instruments and two literature books.

What you'll experience in class:

• Singing. From the first "hello" to the last "good bye", exploring a variety of musical styles and genres leads children to find their own voice. Plus, singing helps with memory and recall, physical development, creativity, and socialization.
• Assorted Movement. Whether moving as a family, as a class, or as individuals, Family Time movement activities enhance coordination skills, create opportunities for imitation and exploration, and give everyone something to smile, rock, bounce, or dance about. 
• Story Time. Reading aloud to children stimulates their curiosity, expands their knowledge, and broadens their understanding of language.
• Family Jam. Children and adults will love selecting a unique instrument and joining in one big class jam session each week.
• Musical Concepts. Fun engaging activities bring out the musicality in everyone, from teh youngest member of the family to the oldest. Together you'll learn more about each other.
• Expert Advice. A Kindermusik educator explains how our musicality based activities enhance your child's complete developement. Learning continues at home. With the home materials, the learning continues at home with your child's best teacher -- YOU!
