Experts in early childhood development have demonstrated that music does more for children than bring them joy. It helps their brain cells make the connections needed for virtually every kind of intelligence. Going to a Kindermusik class with Lisa Russo, more popularly known as Miss Lisa to her class is one of the best things that we have done for our son's overall development.
What is Kindermusik?
Kindermusik offers music and movement classes for babies, toddlers, big kids, and families. Our classes nurture young children’s development—and not just their musical development. As every parent knows, children grow at an amazingly fast pace, and in many ways at once. They’re busy developing their language (and literacy) skills every minute of every day—at the same time as they’re figuring out how to skip, hop, and jump; control their emotions; count to twenty; and get along with their friends. Kindermusik understands this. So while our classes certainly help your child develop a lifelong love for music, they also do more than that: they help children develop language, social, emotional, and physical skills as well—all in the context of joyful, musically rich play!
And...it's research-proven! A third party research study shows the positive effects of Kindermusik's curriculum. Children using the program showed 32% more literacy gain. Surveys say both teachers and parents would strongly recommend the program to others. Visit Kindermusik.com/Research to learn more.
