MARITIME CONSERVATORY SCHOOL OF MUSIC
Kindermusik
Welcome to Kindermusik!
Experience the power and joy of music-making with your child
Kindermusik is an experience for parents & guardians to share with their children, creating and absorbing music in a fun and nurturing environment. Classes are organized into five stages, beginning with the earliest of infants through to young children of 5-7 years old.
Our programs focus on process rather than performance, thus nurturing the total development of children. This child-centered approach is carefully structured to reflect your child’s age and developmental stage. Kindermusik is an inclusion program, and instructors are happy to work with you to provide any accommodations your child may need. By encouraging children’s creative and musical development, Kindermusik builds a foundation for further music study.
Kindermusik is practiced internationally, with curricula designed by experts in the fields of Early Childhood Music Education and Child Development with an aim to recognize and celebrate the potential in every child, working to enhance knowledge, confidence and enthusiasm for learning through the power of music-making.

Kindermusik Musicians (formerly known as Kindermusik for the Young Child), for ages 5 - 7 years
Kindermusik Musicians is the final step in the Kindermusik journey; however, participation in previous Kindermusik levels is not a prerequisite.

Kindermusik Musicians lays the groundwork for future musical success, preparing your child for private lessons and ensemble work. Hands-on activities, games, and stories enhance musical understanding and cognitive skills and complement school music curricula.
We engage all the senses with diverse instruments, singing, moving, and dancing, creating an immersive learning experience that prioritizes multi-sensory exploration and self-expression.
