About Kindermusik

Kindermusik is a music and movement program for children ages newborn to 7 years old. Its proven methodology is built on the leading education philosophies and approaches of Montessori, Orff, Kodaly and Dalcroze. In a Kindermusik class, children can enjoy and gain benefit from appropriate musical experiences without the pressure to perform. The curriculum and content of Kindermusik have been researched and developed by a team of music specialists and consultants in the latest research on music and brain development.

Kindermusik was developed in West Germany in the 1960's and was introduced to the US in 1974. Today, more than 5,000 licensed educators use the Kindermusik curricula in more than 35 countries, reaching 1 million families!

More Than Just a Music Class

Kindermusik at MagicBean Academy is more than just a music program for young children! It uses music as a learning tool to nurture the total growth for the child, which encourages the development of skills and characteristics related to successful learning in school.

  • Movement and dance activities improve co-ordination and balance.
  • One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem.
  • Small group instruction promotes teamwork and develops social skills.
  • Music-making and music-listening activities develop self-discipline, as well as critical and creative thinking skills.

Fun For the Child and For Families

Parents are the most important teachers in a young child’s life. In a Kindermusik class, you will enjoy various musical activities with your child in a joyful, relaxed, non-performance-oriented environment. You and your child will get a chance to meet and have fun with other parents and their children in the music making community. Also, you will learn more about your child's unique developmental process which you can then use to support and continue the musical experiences of your child in the home.

High-Quality Home Materials For Continuing Learning

What is learned and experienced FIRST is best remembered. Therefore, when you enroll your child in our class, you will receive a high-quality home material kit to help you extend the learning experience in the home. Since the quality of the music that a child is exposed to will directly affect the development of a musical ear, all the musical examples in our Kindermusik CD's are performed by well-trained musicians using real instruments, and professionally-recorded in a recording studio.
