Ottawa Families Invited!
This class is completely free and there is no obligation to register! These classes will be taught by Registered Kindermusik Educator, Marion Arthur. Marion has been a musician since the age of 5. She is an accomplished cellist, singer and songwriter. She believes that children who make music will grow up to become happier, healthier adults. Early Childhood is the perfect time to introduce a child to music and foster a life long love of learning. Kindermusik classes create this opportunity and provide the perfect environment for celebrating family and fostering creative, language and social skills. More about Kindermusik... (from Wikipedia) Founded in the United States in 1978, Kindermusik is an early childhood education music and movement program for children from infants to 7 years of age (2nd grade in Elementary School). It is based on a Kindergarten music and movement program developed by educational experts in Germany in the 1960's. When developing Kindermusik's curriculum, the original creative team drew on the works of esteemed musicians and educators from Europe and Asia, including Shinichi Suzuki, Maria Montessori, Zoltan Kodaly, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze and Carl Orff. Within a few years, Kindermusik programs had expanded into Canada, and, from there, around the world. More than 1 million families in at least 60 countries have attended Kindermusik classes in programs worldwide. The Kindermusik curriculum is based on the research of the original creators, but has been revised as the curriculum development team examines emerging research in child development, music and education. The program uses high-quality recordings, instruments, and award-winning literature books along with traditional nursery rhymes, fingerplays and songs to build a strong foundation of not only music education, but other areas of development, including cognitive, emotional, social, physical, and language development. [1] The phrase derives from the German for Children's Music.
