How many ways can Baby & Parent zoom in Kindermusik Village? Hop in the "Zoom Buggy" and find out! Through a variety of songs, chants, & instrumental selections, you and Baby will experience the rumbling of a baby buggy, the squeaky stroller, the bumpa bumpa bumpa of the wagon, the train chugging up the track & much more. Baby is the star in "Dream Pillow", with each activity carefully planned to stimulate brain development, thereby promoting physical, social, cognitive, emotional, and language development. But it is the parent who is watching and guiding this little star on the rise, and Dream Pillow, like all of the Kindermusik Village units, is written with the parent very much in mind.

Explore many facets of music – speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. Creative movement or dances are interspersed with quiet activities like drawing or focused listening. The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and string and woodwind instruments like the dulcimer and recorder. Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for formal instruction in piano, violin or voice.

Semester 1 of Kindermusik for the Young Child opens the world to new and different ways of learning about music. The focus and content includes beat versus no beat, percussion instruments, brass instruments, melodic direction, exploring the staff, and notation. Semester 1 also introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument. Themes include “Music is Everywhere”, “Meet the Mallets”, and “Discovering Melody and Mozart.”

Children are delighted to learn more about stringed instruments with the introduction to their very own dulcimers in Semester 3. Other musical concepts taught include call and response, improvisation, meter, notation, and a touch of Tchaikovsky. Themes include “Music of Appalachia”, “Music of the Sea”, and “Native American Music”.

At Home Materials include: Purple Carry Bag (Semester 1 only), Folder, Activity Pages and Stickers, Weekly Music at Home cards, Games Bag and Manipulatives, Family Songbook and Home CD and Glockenspiel (Semester 1), Dulcimer with carry bag (Semester 3)
