FAQs

Q What is Kindermusik?

Kindermusik is music-making with a purpose. Steeped in educational theory, our programs engage the potential found in every child. Through our dynamic classes, in-school programs, and research-based curriculum, we excel at setting a strong foundation for a lifetime of learning.

Q What makes Kindermusik by Baumhaus different?

Our team knows that learning is most effective when it’s fun. At the same time, we make sure that our teachers are trained to understand the developmental aspects we support in your growing child. We combine activities based on early childhood development with the flair and passion of performing arts. As seasoned creative educators, many of us have been professional dancers, singers and performers. We bring that level of genuine dedication to all of our courses.

Our devotion to the children we work with is widely recognised and we have been a four-time recipient of Kindermusik International’s Maestro award for the top international program. We are currently ranked by Kindermusik International as the #1 Program in Hong Kong.

Q Which Kindermusik classes are offered?

In every Kindermusik class, your child is welcomed into a playful and nurturing environment where they will sing, move, play instruments, and hear stories—all while developing social skills, problem-solving skills, pre-math skills, and a foundation for reading. The Kindermusik curriculum focuses on whole-child development and helps you understand how your child is developing musically, cognitively, and socially. Classes are offered based on the child's age: Foundations (0-12 months old), Level 1 (1-2 years old), Level 2 (2-3 years old), Level 3 (3-4 years old), Level 4 (4-5 years old), Voice (5-7 years old).

Q Are your classes accompanied classes?

All our Foundations, Level 1 and Level 2 classes are accompanied classes. As for Level 3 classes, the students attend the first 30 minutes of classes by themselves followed by a 15-minutes sharing time with the caregivers. Level 4 and Voice classes are unaccompanied.

Q How is music good for my child’s development?

A child learns Math, Cognition, Language and Literacy through being exposed to music. As music is made up of time signatures, beats and rhythm, your child’s brain catches up with the varying patterns that get the senses stimulated. Music and movement feed off each other, and these concepts help children be in control of their bodies, as they use them to interpret what they hear. For toddlers, in particular, moving to a steady beat guides their first walking steps quite literally, and learning inhibitory control through stop-and-go music allows them to be in command of their bodies.

Music also allows for socio-emotional and physical development of a child. As babies learn to vocally communicate, singing with them and exposing them to varying tones and rhythmic inflections allows them to build a repertoire of sounds. Singing together with children is also a great way to process feelings, and build stronger relationships among family and friends.

Q Is my baby too young for the classes? At what age can my baby start Kindermusik?

Only you can tell if your child is ready for a Kindermusik class. Each child is unique and reacts differently to group settings. Babies learn as early as you can imagine! We have had students as young as 4 weeks thrive and appreciate our classes. The nature of our classes use music to help children develop physically, emotionally and cognitively. This starts as soon as your baby is born!

Q Music classes for babies? What can they possibly learn?

The Foundations curriculum is a guided multi-sensory experience that helps babies understand the world around them. Music and language are given meaning with activities that explore dynamics of sound and movement. Adults are surprised that babies communicate back—whether through their actions or even vocalizing!

Babies from 0-12 months are rapidly developing—they are able to discern voices, preferences in music, and even their mother tongue! To harness that rapidly developing brain, we teach parents how to make the most of their activities to reinforce neural pathways for development. From Audiation to Active Listening activities, from social dancing to bonding activities, the Kindermusik by Baumhaus brings a developmentally appropriate experience and allows your baby to develop holistically.
