THE BASICS:
We're in the business of changing the world one child at a time. Kindermusik International is the world's leading publisher of music and movement curricula for parents and their children, ages newborn to 7 years old.
It's pretty amazing how many families we're reaching - 1 million and counting, in more than 35 countries around the world. We have over 5,000 licensed educators using the Kindermusik curricula - we couldn't be prouder of how hard they work. And what a cool job - teaching parents and children about the power of music!
Kindermusik focuses on engaging the whole child - this is what keeps moms and dads coming back. It's also what makes us so successful, with more than 25 years of experience creating curricula based on new and proven research in child development. When you're singing and dancing and sharing and playing and laughing, learning just happens. All those movement and dance activities improve coordination and balance. Kids don't mind - as long as it's fun.
If you've never been in a Kindermusik class, you don't know what you're missing. :) Educators lead a group of parents and their children through fun and completely interactive activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child's unique developmental process, and the shared learning experience creates a special bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play. Plus it's a great opportunity for new moms and dads to get out of the house - for once - and meet some new friends. All families purchase At Home Materials, which give parents some really useful tips to continue the learning process at home.
Did you know that one-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem? It's true. Music-making and music listening activities develop self-discipline, helping children figure out how to listen for cues and follow directions. Music's effect on critical and creative thinking skills are clear.
Kindermusik is great as a job opportunity, too. We provide a license program to teach Kindermusik. On their own, or partnered with community and national organizations and businesses, educators can provide classes in many different settings, such as private studios, music studios, music stores, public and private schools, community centers, churches, schools, universities, YMCAs, and retirement communities. The list is essentially endless.
