Kindermusik Level
4 - Move & Groove is the perfect complement to preschool. This level of
Kindermusik will introduce your child to a whole world of music and movement
activities that also promote language, social and emotional skills, early
math and early literacy, physical coordination, creativity, and more!
We will explore the world of Opera, Dance, and Orchestra and learn
about composers like Mozart, Beethoven and John Phillip Sousa! Plus,
your child will learn basic music vocabulary and notation—all setting the
stage for future school success and formal music lessons. Parents join the
fun for the final activities. The Kindermusik@Home digital home materials
extend the benefits all week long with music from class, activities for the
whole family, and each month’s story.

What a Parent and
Child Will Experience in Class
|
|
Language
Development
|
|
Being in a group
class like Kindermusik gives big kids lots of extra practice in verbal
communication, but language development is taken to all-new level as the
children imitate melodic phrases, match pitch, and sing entire songs.
|
|
Vocal
Development
|
|
We take singing
to a whole new level as the children sing in several languages, participate
in speech ensembles, expand their vocal range, develop independent singing,
and sing in an ensemble.
|
|
Cognitive Development
|
|
Higher-level
cognitive skills mean these eager learners can easily begin to grasp the
fundamentals of reading, writing, and composing music which Kindermusik
introduces in a perfectly sequenced and thoughtful way.
|
|
Gross Motor Skills
|
|
Children this
age are more than capable of walking, running, and jumping and are now able
to walk, run, and jump to the beat of the music. Kindermusik helps
refine their gross-motor skills even further as the children imitate and
learn multi-step dances.
|
|
Fine Motor Skills
|
|
The ability to
hold a pencil and write their names means that these big kids are becoming
skilled enough to also learn simple musical notation, play the bars of a
glockenspiel, strum the strings of the dulcimer, and finger the holes on the
recorder.
|
|
Social Emotional Development
|
|
At this age,
self-esteem comes from feeling capable, and Kindermusik helps your child to
develop a sense of confidence by belonging to a group, sharing ideas, and
taking pride in his accomplishments.
|
|
Musical Development
|
|
Increasing
skills and cognitive abilities mean that your big kid can enjoy more
complicated group dances and ensemble experiences. She’ll have lots of
opportunity to develop her singing voice as well. Most exciting of all,
she is able to learn to read and write music as well as to compose her own
songs.

Just say the
word drum and
any child within earshot will be ready to play. In Drums, Drums, Drums,
we'll focus on drums, percussion instruments, and music from Africa and South
America as we clap, tap, move, play, and echo different rhythms. You'll
learn to recognize the sights and sounds of many different drums, play a
drum, and get up and move your body to the rhythms, too!

Don't you just
love when you can Feel the Music? Music is a powerful trigger
for emotions, and emotions can powerfully inspire the creation of music, too.
In this unit, we explore how music can elicit feelings, as well as how to
express feeling through music. We start with facial expressions as they
relate to music and build up to listening to and engaging with the music of
one of the great masters of emotion, Ludwig Van Beethoven
