Hi, I'm Eve, a licensed Kindermusik® educator, and am happy to be able to offer Kindermusik® in Central Hamburg!
Kindermusik® is the world's leading publisher of music and movement curricula for parents and their children, ages newborn to seven years old.
In our Kindermusik® classes, we lead a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement, and everybody gets something out of it:
- Playful music education boosts a child's development in all areas.
- Parents learn more about their child's unique talents and abilities.
- The children always have lots of fun.
- Parents and children share special moments.
Furthermore, as all classes are conducted in English, our program not only offers an added benefit for children raised bilingually but also acts as a fun and playful first exposure to a foreign language.
Music and Movement for Children
Kindermusik® International is a program based on ideas first developed in Germany back in the 1960s as Musikalische Früherziehung, or music for the young child, before being brought over to America in the 70s and translated into English.
Why in English?
Children are gowing up today in a multi-lingual world and Kindermusik can help them develop confidence and skill in the English language from a very young age – through music!
Reseach shows that:
- Children should learn languages early.
- Children’s brains are ready and eager to learn languages early. In fact, the sounds of a new language should be introduced before a child is 9 months old. The earlier a child learns the language, the more proficient he or she will be in that language. Research also shows that learning a second language at an early age will make it easier for the child to learn other languages later in life.
- Learning languages early makes children smarter.
- Children who learn multiple languges early are more cognitively advanced in analytical reasoning, concept formation, cognitive flexibility and metalinguistic skills.
- Music helps children learn languages better.
- Music supports the development of phonological awareneess which is linked to better pronunciation and better decoding of written language.
- Repetition is a key component in learning a language.
- The Kindermusik® At Home Materials will give children the repeated exposure to the English language throughout the week.
