All ages
Carnival of Music (6 months to 6 years)
This session’s story features Barley Bear and his day-long quest to find a piece of shoo-fly pie at the fair. In class we’ll read about Barley and talk about his willingness to wait and be patient in the middle of the fun fair distractions. Our activities will include things that you might do at a fair in the summer.
At home, your Home Kit includes more activities to help your child feel comfortable in group-play and group-learning situations.

Take Home Kit: Egg shaker, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Shoofly Pie)

Let’s Play (6 months to 6 years)
All the ways you play—at home, in the school yard, during your family time together—is this unit’s theme. In class we’ll play “Follow the Leader” and other playground games to help your toddler develop listening and singing skills while strengthening movement and hand-eye coordination. In your Home Kit, find more activities, songs, and games you can do together to play and learn at home, too.

Take Home Kit: Mini Tambourine, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Golden Bear)

1.5 - 4 years
Out & About
In this class we are taking pretend adventures to the mountains, the beach, and going on bike rides, and picnics. Meanwhile, your toddler gets lots of practice taking turns and interacting socially. You’ll love the take-home activities in your Home Kit, with great ideas for making an easy-at-home bird feeder. Plus, when you incorporate these class activities into your playtime at home, you’re sharing in the learning happening in class.
Take Home Kit: CD and Family Guide

Outside My Window
Children are compulsive music makers. They hum in the bathtub, sing along with the radio in the car, and love the opportunity to use wooden spoons and pots from the kitchen as drums. We will have a wonderful exploration experience as we have the opportunity to sing and play musical instruments. They will develop comfort with instruments and their ability to play them, increasing their likelihood of playing instruments as they get older.

Take Home Materials: Instrument, CD, and mini-literature magazine.

4 - 6 years
Rhythms of the Land
In class we’ll explore the rhythms and sounds of Native American music. As we investigate, compare, and contrast a wide variety of drums and the materials they’re made from, your preschooler develops the investigative vocabulary needed in the sciences. When you repeat rhythm patterns at home and share the activities in your Home Kit, your child gets an early start in math, too. NO PARENT PARTICIPATION.

Take Home Kit: Jingle Stick instrument, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Pedal Pump, Pedal Pump)

Sing a Story
The Sing a Story unit of ABC Music & Me introduces children to the world of opera. They will meet the Queen of the Night, Papageno, and Papagena, just a few of the colorful characters from Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera, The Magic Flute. At storytime, children will hear a tale of missing tail feathers and witness the hustle and bustle that happens backstage before an opera. They will listen to examples of solos and duets, practice pre-music-reading skills by singing simple two-note patterns, sing, and play a variety of musical instruments. NO PARENT PARTICIPATION.

Take Home Kit: Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Papageno’s Feathers)

On the Road (3- 5 yrs)
Five lessons feature music, stories, snacks and crafts. This camp makes the most of a preschooler's burgeoning imagination and ability to learn more words and solve problems. Take imaginary trips to summer vacation locations such as the carnival, a summer cottage, and the beach. Crafts use simple materials—most can be found around the house. Parents also learn more about how music improves a preschooler's ability to think, reason, create and express.

Materials include a special literature book featuring "Van Go," the road-tripping van preschooler's will ride over the summer, CD, and instrument.

Play Dates - ages newborn to 18 months & 1.5 to 4

Kindermusik Play Date may be just what you need this summer! Want to “try” a Kindermusik class? What a great way to do it. Come spend an hour singing, dancing and playing instruments with your little one. Learn how these activities help your child’s development and how you can incorporate these activities in your every day routine. Take Home Materials: Available by request only

Themes of our Play Dates: Animals, Weather, Drums & Let’s Move


Sing, Play & Stay - ages 2-4 years & 4-6 years
NO PARENTS ALLOWED!
Why not enjoy 2 hours of freedom while your child is learning about music. We will sing, dance, play instruments, have a snack and make a craft. There will be free play time. But more than anything else, we will have lots and lots of music! Each class also includes a set of home materials so you can continue the music at home.

You can sign up for this class in one of 4 ways. You can choose to enroll your child in either 1 class, 2 classes, 3 classes or all 4 classes. The more classes your child takes, the less it is per class.

Take Home Materials: Book, CD, craft items

Animals a Dancing (2-4 years)
Dancing, hopping, rolling, and stomping. This month we’ll move like all of our animal friends and develop muscle coordination and spatial awareness along the way. Your Home Kit features songs for wiggling and helps toddlers develop dexterity and fine-motor skills. Your magazine-style Family Guide also includes at-home activity ideas, games, and questions that involve the class story, so your child develops memory and comprehension—all in the context of sharing time with you.

Take Home Kit: Home CD and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Frog Went a-Dancing) & craft items

Jazz Kitchen (4-6 years)
We will take jazz music, sounds and instruments into the kitchen! Children will explore food in its many dimensions—shopping at the grocery store, then heating up the kitchen with chopping, dicing, making toast, and cooking noodles from scratch—all to the rhythms and sounds of jazz. They’ll also explore quarter-note and eight-note rhythms with their hands, their bodies, and a piano keyboard.

Take Home Materials: CD, and mini-literature magazine & craft items

Dance with Me (4-6 years)
This month, we’ll feature the music and dance of “one-two” rhythms and “one-two-three” rhythms. In class, we’ll hear real instruments and learn a few dance steps, too. Activities like dance, where your child follows a short sequence of instructions, helps to strengthen memory and his ability to follow directions. At home, play the CD in your Home Kit and let your preschooler show you a new step or two.

Take Home Kit: Pair of lumi stix, Home CD, and magazine-style Family Guide (includes the class story Dance of Our Own)
