“Much More

than just

Music !”

What is Kindermusik ?

Simply the world’s best music and movement programme – now in the Vale of Glamorgan

Research proves that early integration of music into your child’s daily routine means improving abilities to think, reason, create and express. Music makes your child brighter !

With more than 25 years’ experience in early childhood development, Kindermusik is the world’s most respected name in musical learning, providing carefully researched and developmentally appropriate music programmes for children from birth, both in class and at home.

Every Kindermusik course comes with a set of At Home materials. Each includes a book, CD, age-appropriate musical instrument and activity book. Learning in the classroom carries on into the home.

Preparing for success in school and life means working with your child’s most important teacher - you ! As you participate in every step of the learning process, you will see first hand just how valuable Kindermusik is to your child’s growth.

Who is Kindermusik for ?

Kindermusik is for babies ! Kindermusik Village® is for children from birth to 18 months. It provides a unique opportunity for parents to connect with their new child and with other babies in music and movement using Kindermusik’s Foundations of learning®, a teaching approach based on scientific research to help bring out your baby’s unique development.

Kindermusik is for toddlers ! Kindermusik Our Time® is for children 18 months to 3 years. Each week you and your child meet others for 45 minutes of singing, moving, listening, playing simple instruments and simply interacting socially. Exploration Time encourages your child’s discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation and vocal play. Music & Movement Story Time encourages your child’s emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child’s urge to move.

Kindermusik is for kids at nursery ! Kindermusik Imagine That® is for children aged 3 to 5 years. Each 45 minute lesson is designed to tap into the power of the child’s imagination. Imagine That provides an extraordinary musical atmosphere. You explore the power of pretend play with exceptional music, movement activities, singing and literature building blocks. Your child will reflect, compare, sing, act and move while exploring the exciting world of music. Parents and caregivers join in for the last fifteen minutes of each session.

Kindermusik is for kids at school ! Kindermusik for the Young Child® is a music curriculum designed for children 5 to 7. The programme consists of weekly 60-minute lessons, each designed for eight to twelve children who attend unaccompanied by an adult. Parents, caregivers and siblings are invited to join the class for a ‘sharing time’ for the last ten or fifteen minutes of each lesson. Kindermusik for the Young Child® helps to build essential school and music readiness skills through singing, movement and dance, playing simple instruments (glockenspiel, dulcimer and recorder) separately and together, and learning rudiments of reading and writing musical notation. It is an excellent opportunity for children and parents to explore instruments before making choices about formal lessons, while becoming comfortable with a variety of small motor challenges. And, of course, they get to keep the instruments !

About me

Leonie Hain ALCM, LLCM(TD), GLCM

Licensed Kindermusik Educator

I have lived in the Vale of Glamorgan since we moved here from Canada in 1998.

I studied violin and piano at the London College of Music, then went to work for Music for Youth in London. Some time later I moved abroad with my paediatrician husband to Ottawa in Canada, where I attended Kindermusik classes with our daughter. I thought it was a fantastic programme and decided there and then to run classes myself when my own children were all at school. Since my return to Wales in 1998 I have been teaching music privately. Now, all my own three children are at school and I have been running the Kindermusik programme here in the Cowbridge and Vale area since 2004.
