Fall Sessions 2010 ABC Ages 2-4






Fall Sessions 2010 ABC Ages 4-6


Applying the Piano Component:  
Providing Children with a hands-on musical experiences through Instrument Play:

In Every ABC Music & Me Curricula for ages 4-6, there is a 'piano component' used as a tool to introduce musical concepts like the 'quarter note' and 'quarter rest'. Here, you can find us exploring the piano keys, each taking turns before introducing a new concept. Introducing your child to musical concepts in Kindermusik is a GREAT way to prepare them for future musical instruction on any desired musical instrument.




 Leading By Example: Bringing Useful Skills and Talents
 One of the best ways to captivate a child's interest in an activity during a Kindermusik class, is to model the task before them. Bryann gracefully demonstrates her piano playing ability for the children with a song she has committed to memory, Pachelbel's Cannon in D. Stay tuned for ways we incorporate her piano playing into the Kindermusik experience for these children!

The Family Connection brought the community together to enjoy a day filled with games, activities, and music! The purpose of the event was to gather together to support families with children who have Special Needs and to celebrate them.


Bryann and I enjoyed leading everyone during the Electric Slide community dance. She leads with her warm smile and enthusiasm. Her love for music and dance is contagious!




I was able to play a sing-a-long set for the community gathering with my friend, Dan, who played the jembay. What a wonderful way to spend a Saturday, even though the heat was unbearable for most of the time!

Connecting with the community of families with children who are apart of the Family Connection program has been an inspirational experience for Bryann and I. We are so excited about offering Kindermusik classes to these families. Most of these families will experience a Kindermusik class for the first time beginning this Fall!

There is more to come, so stay tuned!
