Babies in Jupiter and Palm Beach Love Music Time!

There are so many reasons for babies and moms to love music. Not only is music so incredibly fun, Kindermusik classes for babies and toddlers in Jupiter and Palm Beach provide a supportive community of parents and babies that share and care for one another. There is no other time in our lives when we need affirmation, education, support, and community more than as new parents. Parents strive to know if their child is developing "normally" and seek out affirmation for making "the right choices" when it comes to raising fragile young minds and eager bodies!
In the Kindermusik classroom, particularly the babies Village class, there is a multi-age atmosphere where little ones are changing more rapidly than at any other time in their development. Therefore, a wide range of choices are presented for each activity so that parents can creatively and successfully engage babies that are very young lap babies to babies that are walkers already. Through a variety of activities such as interactive dancing, instrument and vocal play, and multi-sensory learning activities, families experience the joy of music in a trusting atmosphere where children are nourished and parents are encouraged.
Classes are now enrolling for the Fall Session of Kindermusik Classes which will be held in Tequesta. Anyone interested should view http://www.kindermusik.com to learn more about the world's leading music and movement program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and big kids right here in Jupiter, Tequesta and Palm Beach.

Music To A Mother's Ears

Exposure to music at an early age can offer children emotional and educational benefits that can last a lifetime...and that is music to a mother's ears! When a baby is born the brain is in an unfinished state. The development that takes place during the first year of life is phenomenal. Research has proven that music plays a vital role in brain development. However, just exposing children to music isn't quite enough! As with anything, active participation must take place for the child to reap the benefits of music. In other words, it is not enough to simply play music for your baby. Young children respond to interactive behaviors. Because a very young child does not know how to play an instrument or sing, these behaviors must be learned. Many parents are quite uneasy about their own musical abilities and therefore do not engage their children actively in musical activities such as singing and instrument play. It is important to remember that a child's first love is their parent's voice. Babies are not yet aware of tonal imperfections or lack of ability to keep a steady beat. Babies are very much aware, on the other hand, of the amount of attention and engaging activity they receive from their parents and/or caretakers. In other words, put your fears aside and sing and play with your baby! Attending music classes, such as Kindermusik, provides a unique group environment in which all levels and abilities of musical talent are embraced and nurtured in a family-centered environment. It is important to remember that Kindermusik may not be churning out young Mozarts, but it is a program that trains the eye, ear and hand to work coordinately while celebrating the child's achievements in a non-stressful, supportive environment. Many people are worried that starting a music class with a baby may be a bit "too soon". I truly believe that music is an essential need that children must be given. Just because a baby cannot eat by himself or walk yet does not deny him the need to have food or to move around. It is the responsibility of the parent to provide these unique opportunites so that learning pathways can be properly established at an early age. Try a class today! You'll be glad you did and best of all, your child will thank you for it! More information can be found about Kindermusik at http://www.kindermusik.com.
