Grow Your Child's Brain with Kindermusik
Kindermusik is so much more than just music! When children and families make music together in class, they are singing and playing instruments, making friends, and MOVING!

Research tells us that our brains are plastic or moldable. They can and will change based on experiences, especially those that involve movement, because movement stimulates our nervous system. Movement turns our brain on!

When caregivers dance, rock, swing, and bounce with their child, they are actually molding and growing their child's brain.

The Kindermusik experience develops bonds between parents and children, provides opportunities for socialization, and develops a life-long love of music. But there is more! The music + movement activities in these research-based classes are designed to develop your child's brain and body in ways that will impact them for the rest of their lives.

Parenting Tip: Create a routine "music time" at home.  Stream your class music using the Kindermusik App and start moving! Repetition is key. The more your child moves to the music, the more your child's brain will grow and strengthen.
