Every May or June I begin thinking about fall. While all of you Kindermusik parents are thinking about what to do this summer for fun I am completing my Fall Semester to submit to my website and hopefully to get the forms ready to send to you. I happen to have several students this year that have gone from Village all the way through the 3 levels of Kindermusik ready for Young Child. This is where the music continues to happen, the children are learning to actually play an instrument, write Rondos (a musical form) yes, they really do this. They actually learn notes, rhythms, Mozart waltzes etc. Not only that, they begin to listen and identify instruments in the orchestra, listen to great works such as Peter and the Wolf, The Nutcracker, the story about a dog named Blue. This is where the real meat is, this is what every parent dreams of to begin musical lessons. Guess what? Young child costs significantly less then individual music lessons and the children are engaged in fun activities and hardly noticing that they are getting the foundation for later musical activities. Children this age also learn best while they are with their friends. When they leave this program, the piano or strings teacher is absolutely delighted. They can focus on teaching piano skills while the children have the note reading skills already, they are developmentally ready to begin to sit at the piano or whatever instrument they are practicing.
With this said, many of you wonder how can your child deal with a day in kindergarten or first grade and then deal with learning again. You will find that the children are excited to get away from their regular learning and having fun with their friends. Well, this year for the first time I am putting on a guarentee to the signing up process of Young Child. Yes, the cost is quite a bit but breaking it down you will see that it is quite a bit less than trying that piano lesson and it will be lifelong. They will continue learning their lifelong learning activities while they learn new musical activities. There is also a guarantee tagged onto it. If your child comes to 5 classes in a row and ends up not happy with what we are doing, I will refund your tuition IN FULL. So, I guess you can say your satisfaction is guaranteed, period.
I have been teaching for the better part of my life. Young child happens to be my all time favorite class to teach. Not that I don’t love those Village, Our time and Imagine that children. You will love this class, your child will be asking for more more more..
