Making the Most of Kindermusik Classes
Please plan to arrive about 5-10 minutes early for
class. Arriving a little before class provides time
for your child to settle in to the musical environment
as they prepare to enjoy exploring instruments, reading
books, or listening to music. We do request that toys,
juice cups, and pacifiers be kept out of sight, and
that snacks be finished prior to class. Be sure to dress
comfortably.
During class, the most important thing you can do
for your child is to be an active and patient role model.
It is not uncommon for a child to attend several classes
before feeling comfortable in class. Don't be discouraged,
what a child is absorbing in class is often evidenceed
in the comfort of the home environment rather than in
a certain level of participation in class. The understanding
and consisency of the parent or caregiver in class and
at home are key to facilitating musical learning and
growth.
