Introducing ABC Music & Me - from the world-renowned experts at Kindermusik!

Music enrichment—not music entertainment.
This unique, monthly learning program uses research-proven methods shown to help children develop singing, reading, listening, and early learning skills. ABC Music & Me is fun, but it’s not a free concert with a music teacher. Each week a trained expert in music and child development provides an interactive learning experience for 2 to 6 year old children. After four lessons you’ll notice the difference when classroom behavior and listening skills improve—not just in your ABC Music & Me class—but all through the day.

How a 2-4 year old learns each week in ABC Music & Me:
• Integrates physical, cognitive, social, and emotional learning domains for a whole-child approach to learning
• Uses a multisensory approach to teach early music concepts such as loud and quiet or high and low
• Invites children to explore the joy of group learning, practicing social skills such as turn-taking and cooperation
• Prepares children to practice the listening and attention skills that ensure early school success
