What Regina Parents are Saying About Kindermusik


Comments From Parents in Regina:

Kindermusik has had a huge positive impact on our daughter's quality of life! Our daughter Callie began Kindermusik when she was 3 months old. Callie had to overcome a number of medical concerns in the first year of her life and as a result was very anxious amongst strangers and new places. Our Kindermusik educator immediately placed Callie at ease and Kindermusik quickly became a safe, comforting place for both my daughter and I. Amidst other appointments, Kindermusik immediately became the highlight of our week. Our Kindermusik educator was eager to coordinate Callie's physiotherapy with the Kindermusik curriculum and having the CD's and books to use at home really became a fun part of our daily routine. Just hearing Kindermusik songs would place a smile on Callie's face and seeing her dance and sing along was amazing. Callie and I look forward to enjoying more Kindermusik in the future!

My children have been in Kindermusik since they were infants. The family time in Village and Our Time was precious. Our Kindermusik educator not only inspired music and dance, but also offered different ways of interacting to encourage creativity as well as many other learning processes. She offered classes to my children 'en français' which was important for my francophone family. My son is now in an English Imagine That class, and he loves it! He sings along to the CDs in the car and we all enjoy the home activities. This is particularly impressive since my son is extremely shy and our Kindermusik educator has been able to encourage and assist him to participate in the classes. The classes have really enhanced his language, imagination and independence. Our Kindermusik educator's teaching skills are outstanding, but more importantly she has a strong grasp of child development which is evident in her interactions with the children. I would highly recommend these classes to anyone seeking to enrich their child's experiences.

Kindermusik provides weekly opportunities for children/parents to explore their natural music within them and to grow or mature in such a positive nurturing environment. The class sizes are small, interactive and free of jugdement to dance, sing and enjoy our gifts of music we bring to the circle. Kindermusik gives the children and parents this window of musical self discovery weekly and we can then open the door and play with the music/activities in our home during the week. After ten plus years my three children have gained everything from, as babies, vocabulary and cognitive enrichment through singing their first songs to, as 6-7 year olds, self confidence and gratification in playing the glockenspiel or dulcimer. From babies to young children, all the years of music enhancement and learning music theory through movement, expression and practical hands on activities has instilled a very strong, solid foundation for each one of my children to pursue their own individual areas of interest in the arts.

I started Kindermusik when my son was 6 weeks old. At first I thought it would be a great way for me to interact with him and other parents and children while laying a foundation for an appreciation of music and dance. Nolan is now 10 months old and loves going every week. I am amazed how he has become so interested in music in such a short time. Our Kindermusik educator is an outstanding teacher. She genuinely shares her passion for music, learning, and children in a loving, structured, yet care free way. Nolan loves hearing her voice and looks forward to what fun she will bring each week. We both get excited for Thursdays each week. I will be continuing with kindermusik for both our children and highly recommend Kindermusik to all mothers of Regina.
