Kindermusik ABC Music and Me
ABC Music & Me is specifically designed for use in a daycare or preschool setting. Weekly classes are presented by a Kindermusik educator, and these classes are held onsite as an enhancement program. There are two age groups for this program; 2 – 4 years old, and 4 – 6 years old.
For each different age group, there is a different theme for each month, with corresponding home materials kit which includes a CD and a colorful catalog, as well as weekly reports from the teacher.
Every other month, Kindermusik International also includes a high quality instrument to help the students explore sounds, and how to turn sounds into music.
Themes in the 2 – 4 age range focus on themes that are familiar and interesting to the children. These programs use music and movement to enhance development of age appropriate skills and understanding of concepts.
This “Carnival of Music” is scheduled for September.
Themes in the 4 – 6 age range use movement and multi-sensory activities to create a basic musical understanding, develop their fine motor skills that to play a variety of instruments
“Jumping Beans” is also scheduled for September.
Kindermusik International, and it’s educators, place a high value on parent involvement. And so most of the core curriculum are designed to include full parent participation, or, in the older classrooms, participation during the last portion of the class. Both the students and the parents benefit a great deal from their involvement in class, and also from the unique follow through that occurs at home as well.
But due to many factors in this fast paced world, more children are spending their days in learning facilities outside the home. In order to fully reach more children and families with the marvalous process of music, and all of its benefits, Kindermusik International designed ABC Music & Me as a high quality music program that allows facilities to provide music instruction on site, AND for the parents to receive monthly materials that help them join their child in this process at home.
Some educators also use this program with children AND their families. It is easily adapted for the interactive process where parents CAN continue to participate with their child in wonderfully creative ways that continue to benefit the development of the whole child, as well as their musical understanding and abilities.
