"Based on its name, you might think that Kindermusik is merely a music class for preschoolers. However that type of thinking falls well short of the many benefits the program provides. Kindermusik is a rich curriculum grounded in current brain-based research. It is specifically designed to help our children grow physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. Music simply makes it FUN! For our family, Kindermusik is a compass to our child's development. We are learning the 'why' behind the activities and we feel better prepared to help Max reach his next milestone. Kindermusik gives us the best value for our dollar of any early childhood program out there. It is a valuable resource for the child and the parents." — Susan Culp "Kindermusik has undoubtedly been the most gratifying childhood activity I have experienced with my girls- ages 2 1/2 and 5 1/2. We put on our Kindermusik CD every morning - sing, dance, play instruments, read, pretend ... and truly ENJOY each other and the music. I feel in these moments that I am truly PLAYING with my children. We are totally engaged in the moment, connecting with each other and the music. Both girls started classes when they were 12 weeks old and I am truly grateful to the outstanding teachers and wonderful educational resources that this unique program has offered our family. These Kindermusik memories will be cherished for a lifetime!" — Kathryn Brown, Associate Chair of Piano for The Cleveland Institute of Music "We have four children and our oldest started with kindermusik 10 years ago! Now, we have our youngest finishing Young Child II. Deb Laukiavich is an excellent instructor." “Kindermusik exposes my daughter to a variety of music and activities in the class and at home. Our Kindermusik teacher has a great way of inviting the children to participate at their own level, on their own terms, and yet challenges them with new ideas, new music and new instruments. The CD’s included in the home materials are of such good quality that they are a pleasure even for a professional musician to listen to. They have been especially handy on long drives. Also the home activity book has given us new enjoyment on many rainy days.”
— Beth W., Violinist with the Cleveland Orchestra “Kindermusik has stimulated my daughter emotionally (she is happiest when music is on), socially (she is very interested in other children and wants to join in with them), and intellectually (the music is so diverse she is always listening for the different instruments, for pauses, and is aware when changes are made in the songs). Kindermusik gives us a chance to get out, spend time together and bond.” — L. H., Nanny, (CPN) “Kindermusik exposes Ryan to a broad range of musical styles in a fun and creative atmosphere. When Ryan is tired and fussy at the end of the day, I sing him a favorite song that we learned in Kindermusik and he immediately calms down and gives me a smile or a giggle.” “Kindermusik has benefited all three of my children, giving them a love and understanding of music that will last a lifetime. Kindermusik is process rather than performance oriented, so my children were able to relax and just have fun with the music, express themselves as they wished, and learn musical concepts in a playful way. My youngest child had a speech/language delay, and Kindermusik helped bring on her speech. Some of her first sounds and words happened during class! Kindermusik has been invaluable. We scheduled all other activities around it. My older two children have graduated from the program now, and my youngest child will be graduating this year. They really blossomed and benefited the most by experiencing all seven years that Kindermusik had to offer.” “The diversity of musical styles and origins in a Kindermusik class is enriching. The classes are developmentally appropriate, and the teachers are creative and caring. Most importantly, our son loves to be there and hates to leave. Singing and dancing together is one of the most enjoyable ways we spend time together as a family. Kindermusik has helped us nurture a love of music in our son.” “Kindermusik has resulted in my daughters love for music. They love to sing, and they love to listen to the Kindermusik CD’s. I’ve learned to sing with my children and delight in singing regardless of what my voice sounds like. One of the things I love about the class is that part of it is playful and loud and there is still a quiet time. I can remember particularly holding my daughters hands on my shoulders as she rocked behind me and feeling her little hands getting bigger as the classes went along. I will always remember that.” “Kindermusik classes have really fostered my daughter’s love of music and dance! Her enthusiasm and joy from the program have even converted previous non-singers like me! Music really does take you out of yourself-a happy heart starts with a song. Singing and dancing to our Kindermusik CD’s is a part of our everyday routine My daughter really looks forward to her weekly class—the fun, the camaraderie, and her wonderful teacher!" — T. R., Physician "Thank you for wonderful months full of joy, exploration, and creativity. Kindermusik is a big part of our childhood memories. We will cherish them!"
