"Kindermusik is an accepting and nurturing place, and she has so much fun she doesn't even realize how much she is learning!"

Music Affects Literacy and Math

Kindermusik is so much more than just music. Early music experiences can have a significant impact on literacy and reading. Learning to read depends on acquiring a variety of skills, including phonological processing, oral language, and comprehension. In Kindermusik, we include active listening, vocabulary, phonological awareness, and print awareness all through age-appropriate musical activities and materials.

There is no longer any doubt that there is a significant link between early music instruction and cognitive growth in certain other, “nonmusical” abilities, such as math, memory, and spatial-temporal reasoning. In fact, studies focused specifically on music for young children even suggest that these cognitive gains increase according to the number of years that students engage in active music learning, and even that the younger children are when they begin, the greater the gains will be!
