Music Conservatory - Kindermusik

The Music Conservatory offers your family a complete program of Kindermusik classes with age appropriate activities for lap-babies through 5-year-olds. Kindermusik classes explore many developmentally appropriate facets of the musical experience such as; speaking and singing, moving, listening, creating and playing percussion instruments.

Research supports that music helps prepare the mind for specific disciplines of learning; skills learned through music carry over into study skills, communications skills, cognitive skills and abstract reasoning skills useful to all parts of life. Studying music encourages self discipline and diligence traits that carry over into mathematics, science, foreign languages, civics and government, economics, arts, history and geography.

Don Campbell, author of The Mozart Effect, traced neurological development during childhood and found prior to a major spurt of neural integration in the brain during the elementary school years, learning occurs through movement and quick emotional associations. For example, by age two, the brain has begun to fuse with the body via marching, dancing, and developing a sense of physical rhythm. The more music children are exposed to before they enter school, the more deeply this stage of neural coding will assist them throughout their lives.

Begin the musical learning path that will completely transform and enrich your child's life, whether it leads them to Carnegie Hall, a church choir, or the keys of a family piano.

Since each age and stage of the Kindermusik curriculum provides unique, age-appropriate learning opportunities, enrollment in any one of classes does not require prior Kindermusik experience.
