What are the benefits of Kindermusik classes?

By Lauren Haas Amanfoh, Royalton Music Center

Using music as a vehicle for learning is not a new concept. For centuries, music has been used to tell stories, teach lessons, evoke emotions, bring people together and simply to entertain.

Kindermusik is an international program geared toward children ages zero to six years old and offers so much more than just an introduction to music. Kindermusik is the world’s leading music and movement program for young children and is based on extensive research, proving the many benefits of early exposure to music. 

Through music-based activities like singing, dancing, instrument playing and storytelling, Kindermusik hones important skills in many areas, including physical, cognitive, language and social development. Research shows that exposure to music at an early age helps brain cells to make connections needed for every kind of intelligence and sets a child up for success both in school and in life. 

Even infants, through just hearing music and the changes in pitch and volume, are benefitting in the development of language, listening and processing skills. As children get older and can engage in movement-based activities, the benefits increase in the areas of physical skills and coordination. 

And the best part about Kindermusik is that it’s fun! The activities and games the program incorporates help children to develop a love of music while spending quality time with a parent or caregiver, and to learn valuable social skills while interacting with other children. 

The benefits of music as a foundation for every kind of learning are undeniable, and the Kindermusik program starts a child off on a lifelong love of music—and learning.
