If you’ve been involved in Kindermusik currently or in the past, you have probably already seen evidence of the benefits of this type of class on behalf of children. We’ve at all times known that Kindermusik has benefits that supercede simply the FUN of the class (although I hope you’re having fun) but now there’s concrete research that what we’ve felt all along can be proven. Hopefully you’ve had a possibility to check out the link on the postcard I gave out in class this past week. If not check it out here

Research done by Nina Kraus at Northwestern University’s Auditory Neuroscience Lab provides a fascinating look into why musical training (specifically a class like Kindermusik which involves the parent as well as includes materials on behalf of at residence extensions of in class activities) as a child shall actually enhance your child’s language skills. And you don’t have to become a professional musician to benefit!



Many thanks goes to Debby Pool, Vice President of Product Development at Kindermusik International, Evanston, Illinois on behalf of all of the work she’s done to get this information out to all of us!
As a fellow parent I know an estimated all of us aren’t trying to manufacture our kids into Musical Mozarts, geniuses as well as the like.  BUT we do desire to give them the best start we can.  Here’s what we know about brain development.  The brain responds to the environment.  Activities like those experienced in Kindermusik help the create learning pathways in the brain towards every area of development, physical, social/emotional, musical, language as well as congitive.  We are preparing these young brains with pathways that shall set them up on behalf of success in all they want  to accomplish in the future.
