His blanket becomes a superhero's cape, a cardboard box doubles as her magic castle.

At Kindermusik, we are as captivated by your 3 to 5-year-old child’s creative spirit as you are…and we’ve designed a new musical classroom experience that taps directly into that power of imagination. Kindermusik Imagine That!

Kindermusik Imagine That! provides a carefully integrated curriculum of music, movement and pretend play where your child’s unique interests will be fully engaged in an environment that invites the development of the whole child – allowing for curious young minds, bodies and voices to reflect, compare, make choices, express opinions, solve problems, sing and move. For the preschool age child, every day is a new discovery waiting to happen. With Imagine That!, you and your child can explore those discoveries together.

No two Imagine That! classes are ever the same. Class activities grow and change based on children’s active participation. By creating an environment in which children contribute ideas, express opinions and offer personal preferences, Imagine That! nurtures development and learning while recognizing that individual differences are not only acknowledged but treasured.

As with every Kindermusik class, you and your child will also enjoy the unparalleled Kindermusik Imagine That! At Home materials. Share the fun at home with two compelling CDs filled with Kindermusik’s extraordinary blend of music…two enchanting original Kindermusik movement and music books…an interactive Play Set…a specially designed instrument…and a Family Activity Book.

Somewhere between 3 and 5 years of age, something happens to you child.

As a parent, how do you support this all-important transition? How do you help your child to stretch, reach, and grasp - without pushing? You do it by providing a carefully constructed bridge between receptive learning and expressive learning.

Imagine That ® encourages and strengthens your child's exciting new relationship to the world. Kindermusik uses music to encourage early learning and creativity. Music is the means, not the goal. The goal is a more alive, creative, and able child. Kindermusik matches the child's place.

WHAT WILL WE DO IN CLASS AND WHY?

Singing fosters the development of your child's most important instrument, the voice, through vocal exploration, songs, and chants.

Moving develops body awareness, coordination, and spatial relationships through synchronized movement, creative movement, and simple dances.

Playing introduces a variety of musical timbres with percussion instruments such as rhythm sticks, jingle bells, drums, resonator bars, and simple instruments your child creates at home.

Creating stimulates your child's imagination and encourages new exploration with sound and movement.

Patterning boosts your child's ability to think musically through the integration of basic rhythmic and tonal language.

Listening cultivates your child's heightened attentiveness to sound discrimination.

Exploring timbre, dynamics, tempo, and pitch lays the foundation for conceptualization of the elements of music.
