Behold . . . the Power of Kindermusik!

Okay, we know we’re being a bit dramatic. But the research about music and children’s development is truly stunning. More and more, the eyes of the research community turn to music as a vehicle to deliver a learning experience to children.

The bottom line: early, positive, and age-appropriate experiences with music - like a Kindermusik program - can have a remarkable and research-proven impact on your child’s:

  • language and literacy skills (vocabulary, comprehension, listening, expression)
  • social and emotional development
  • mathematics and pattern-recognition skills
  • ability to plan, guide, and self-regulate their behavior

Music & Literacy

According to experts, learning to read depends on acquiring a variety of skills including phonological processing, oral language, and comprehension. The early musical experiences your child gets in Kindermusik can have a significant impact in all these areas.

Music & Math

There is no longer any doubt about a significant link between early music instruction and cognitive growth in areas such as math, memory, and spatial-temporal reasoning. It’s even been proven that these cognitive gains increase according to the number of years the student engages in active music learning.
