Kindermusik

Taught by local licensed and experienced educator, Vici Armsby. Classes available for infants-5 years of age! There could not be a more positive experience for a child than exploring the world through music and movement in the company of loving educators, parents and other children.  Kindermusik® children resonate with musical energy, soak in the beauty of sound and rhythm, move with natural delight, and express themselves with uninhibited enthusiasm.
Kindermusik is a gently structured, flexible curriculum that allows the child to learn and develop at his or her own pace – it is not a “toddler prep school” that pushes young children to learn.  The goal isn’t necessarily to make your child a musician, but to make your child more eager to learn, more awake and wholly alive in the world.  A rich assortment of musical activities are designed to promote language development, symbolic thinking, coordination, and social interactions, while cultivating your child’s imagination.
  Inquire for details, pricing and scheduling!
