Kindermusik at CUMC

Kindermusik International is the world's leading publisher of music and movement curricula for parents and their children, ages newborn to 7 years old.

More than 5,000 licensed educators, like Dale Gudeman (the instructor of Kindermusik at Christ United) use the Kindermusik curricula in 66 countries, reaching 1 million families.

Kindermusik International has more than 25 years of experience creating curricula based on new and proven research in child development. The award-winning books, CDs, games, and instruments nurture skills in the whole child: cognitive, physical, social, emotional, and language.

In a Kindermusik class, educators lead a group of parents and their children through joyful activities, using music and movement. Parents learn more about their child's unique developmental process, and the shared learning experience creates a unique bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play.

The learning process continues at home, guided by specially designed books, CDs, and games.

- Movement and dance activities improve coordination and balance.
- One-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem.
- Music-making and music listening activities develop self-discipline, as well as critical and creative thinking skills.
