Class Description
|
In Cuddle & Bounce, a joyful first
Kindermusik experience, parents and their newborns, infants, and crawlers
engage in instrument play, dance, exploration time, and together time. As
they do so, they strengthen critically important early parent-child bonds;
learn about their babies’ early development, fine-tune their
baby-communication skills, and receive expert advice and parenting resources
based on the most recent research in early childhood development. Welcome to
the magic time of life, that all-too-fleeting first chapter of life when
miracles happen daily!

What a Parent and
Child Will Experience in Class
|
Language
Development
|
You’ll hear lots
of sweet coo’s and goo’s before your baby’s first words, and Kindermusik
activities will help you develop your baby’s language skills through
vocalization in response to music, hearing his name in songs, and exploring
sounds with his own voice.
|
Vocal
Development
|
Being immersed
in a bath of musical sound becomes the precursor to actual singing.
Vocal play activities inspire your little one to begin to coo, babble, and
hum – the beginning stages of learning to use the voice.
|
Cognitive Development
|
Little minds
present a big window of opportunity, a window that’s actually only open for
so long. Simple musical play activities increase your baby’s brain
development by locating sounds though instrument and object play and feeling
a steady beat.
|
Gross Motor Skills
|
One thing will
naturally lead to the next as you expand your baby’s movement repertoire
through activities that support rolling, crawling, and kicking during music,
as well as sitting and standing independently, and later learning to walk,
march, and dance.
|
Fine Motor Skills
|
From discovering
her hands to learning what her hands can do, your baby will thrive on playful
activities with you that give her practice in visually tracking objects and
teach her how to reach, grasp, and release those objects as well as to
transfer them from hand-to-hand.
|
Social Emotional Development
|
At a time when
your child is becoming attached to you and just beginning to make her first
connections with other people, Kindermusik helps you strengthen the precious
bond with your child through cuddling, playing, humming, and dancing and also
heighten the benefits of social interaction with others through side-by-side
play and group dances.
|
Musical Development
|
Whether you are
bouncing your child to the steady beat or she is doing a fledgling “bouncy”
dance on her own, your baby is primed and ready to benefit from an early
introduction to music through exploring instruments, listening to sounds, and
moving to music.

Nursery rhymes endure for a reason. They're quirky, rhymey, and
memorable--and are also magical for speech and language development, as they
work to "wire" the brain for communication before speech even
begins! What bliss to share something with your child that your parents
shared with you--or better yet, to learn and share one for the very first
time! Welcome to Mama Goose

If you think
about it, your day-to-day routine is a lot like a piece of music. Ups, downs,
repetitions, patterns, fast parts, slow parts, and lots (and lots) of
improvising! Music Makes My Day
focuses on daily rituals and parts of the day, and gets you thinking about
anticipation, improvisation, singing, instruments, new rituals, and other
ways to make your same-old routine fun and musical.
