"Is Today a Kindermusik Day"

Young children around the world are asking that very question every day. That’s because Kindermusik children can’t wait to sing, move, explore, express, create and simply experience the incredible power of music.

When it comes to choosing your child’s activities, the options seem endless. One choice provides more ways for your child to grow and thrive than any other. Kindermusik.

As the world’s most respected name in musical learning. Kindermusik has been enriching lives with the most carefully researched, developmentally based music program. From birth to age 7, children can experience the magic of music without the pressure to perform – just the encouragement and guidance to stretch their boundaries with creativity and fun!

Semester Two
Playing simple musical patterns and songs on the featured instrument from the first session—the glockenspiel—is a central focus this semester. While learning to sing a melody, and then play the pattern on the glockenspiel, we'll delve deeper into the understanding of musical concepts such as piano and forte through orchestra-style music such as the William Tell Overture and Peter and the Wolf. Music appreciation and understanding continues with a complete introduction to the instruments—and the families in which they're grouped—of the orchestra.

Home Materials: Children’s Folder with stickers, games bag, and Music At Home Cards, Family Songbook, and Home CD of music from class.

About the Educator
Ellen Daniels is a licensed, trained Kindermusik teacher with a Bachelor’s degree in Music from Baldwin-Wallace Conservatory and an M.B.A. from Kent State University.  She has taught all of the Kindermusik curricula for over ten years and has personally taught nearly 1,000 students.  Classes are held in Richfield and in Fairlawn on weekdays and Saturday mornings throughout the year.

Daniels Music Studio is owned and operated solely by “Miss Ellen” and each student receives the benefit of her decade of Kindermusik experience.  She continues her training through bi-annual teacher conventions and classes offered by Kindermusik International.

What is Kindermusik?
Kindermusik initially was developed in Germany and was brought to the U.S. in 1976 by Dan Pratt, Kindermusik’s founder.  Based on research and input from many early childhood music and behavioral experts, Kindermusik brings a variety of musical and sensory experiences to every child who participates.

Each class includes opportunities for individual playing, singing, and listening while learning at his or her own pace.  At every level, the Kindermusik curriculum respects and mirrors your child’s inner world with a secure, stimulating environment.

The goal isn’t to make your child a musician, but to make your child more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in his or her world.

Music is a dynamic sensory experience that evokes a powerful response in young children.  In fact, early exposure to music is a vehicle for profound learning.  Imprinted on the receptive mind and body of your child, the beat of a drum and the clear tone of a bell can reverberate across a lifetime.  And research has shown that music provides a strong foundation for cognitive skills useful in many disciplines throughout your child’s lifetime.

Come and see for yourself what Kindermusik can mean to you and your child.
