They’ll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam.     FALL 2006  UNIT 1 Our Kind of Day  The music and activities in this class involve the five things that happen around your house: playtime, mealtime, clean-up time, bath time, and nighttime. This class becomes a multi-layered learning environment with the older children ready to show the little ones how it's done and the younger ones eager to learn.During each lesson, you will be introduced to basic musical concepts, and you will have the instruments, and the structured free time to put those concepts into play.  Your children will listen to instruments and to each other, learn from their peers and older children, and enjoy music and movement with hoops, scarves and tumble-around play      WINTER 2007 UNIT 2 Here, There, Everywhere  In this family-sized version of Kindermusik, the music and activities center around five different family outings: a visit with a friend, an outing at the park, a trip to the city, an afternoon at the aquarium, and a day on the farm.     FALL 2007 UINT 3 Moving and Grooving Movin’ & Groovin’ is a romping, rolling, stretching good time for the whole family.
