1994-2009 - Celebrating 16th years of teaching!

"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 One
Everything your child learns later in semesters 2, 3, and 4 begins with this early introduction to singing, reading, and writing music and rhythm. Through dances and games that focus on rhythmic development, we'll learn a keyboard instrument—the glockenspiel—which will be used throughout all the Young Child classes. Your At Home Materials provide the music, instruments, stickers, and activities for a home version of the same playful activities you'll hear about from class, so your child—and you!—can learn where you're most comfortable: at home.

Home Materials: Children’s Folder with stickers, games bag, and Music At Home Cards, Family Songbook, Home CD of music from class, glockenspiel, and canvas bag (during first semester).

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.
