Kindermusik

Something to Sing About

By Shel Franco

Pages:  1  2  3  

"It was fun to participate and watch him have fun," says Shelly of Erie, Pa. And while she agrees that Kindermusik classes are definitely a great bonding tool, she also feels grateful for the companionship of the other mothers.

Truth be told, Kindermusik can be much more than a way of introducing baby to the wonderful world of music. "At times, being a stay-at-home mom can be quite isolating. It's hard to find different things to do and to meet other moms that you could do those things with," Connolly says. "I was so excited when I signed us up for Kindermusik, I just knew that not only would Tyler make new friends, but so would I."

For a Lifetime
Aside from the fact that Kindermusik costs money, there are no real drawbacks. "Kindermusik encourages children to move, think, play, feel, sing and speak creatively and differently than ever before," says Monika Jordan, a Kindermusik instructor, in Richmond, Texas.

As for Erin Connolly, the Kindermusik experience has gone beyond the classroom. "We plan on starting a fall play group and also getting together with a few other moms from the class," she says. "Good things have really come from taking our Kindermusik class."

While all of this is true, in the end, Kindermusik is a weekly reason to get out of the house and into an environment where crawling, walking, squirming, whining and even crying babies are welcomed with open arms. For an exhausted and often overwhelmed mother, that in itself is worth the fee.

Musikgarten is also a fantastic music class for children ages 0-9, and they offer a piano/keyboard class for the older ages. I adore Musikgarten!
