Hearts & Minds Music introduces your child to the joy of music and then encourages him to explore, learn and grow without the pressure to perform, all in an appropriate way for his age and developmental stage, and only under the loving guidance of a trained and licensed Kindermusik educator. The experts at Kindermusik who design the curricula know research shows that music is the only activity that stimulates every area of the brain simultaneously. Thus, parents witness development in a wide variety of areas, such as listening, literacy, coordination and movement, social skills, self control, and of course, musicality.
By adding new concepts and challenges, each age-appropriate class acts as a stepping stone to the next. As infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers, children grow, learn and master in a loving, supportive environment. Of course, children can begin Kindermusik at any time and blossom. At the end of the Kindermusik journey, children have a love of learning, a love of music, and a confident voice for a lifetime.

What about music lessons? Music teachers who teach both private instrument lessons and Kindermusik tell us that the children who have had Kindermusik blossom on their chosen instrument because of the strong foundation Kindermusik gives them. Those who start an instrument at age 7 or 8 after completing our Young Child program do just as well, if not better than, those children who start an instrument at an earlier age.
