Kindermusik for the Young Child is Music Fundamentals for the 5-7 year old child, with an"Introduction to Piano".
A Young Child student explores many facets of music - speaking, singing, moving, listening, creating, playing instruments, and learning about reading and writing music. Creative movement or dances are combined with music fundamentals, plus our exclusive addition of "Keyboard Components." The curriculum introduces the glockenspiel, a pre-keyboard instrument, and string and woodwind instruments such as the dulcimer and recorder. Young Child is the perfect pressure-free preparation for formal instruction in piano, violin, or voice.
