Mommy
& Me Musical Babies (also
offering Kindermusik Village) (ages
6-18 months) Babies
and their caregivers enjoy the development of the child through singing, dancing,
and instrument exploration. We will nurture language skills, fine and large motor
skills, space relations, bonding with caregiver and much, much more. 
Let's
Make Music (also
offering Kindermusik Our Time) (ages
18 months-3 years) Sing,
dance, play instruments, and participate in interactive storytelling. Don't miss
this wonderful approach to learning music concepts, as well as math and language
skills. This is a holistic approach, expressing music from the inside out.
Music,
Piano and Me I
(ages
3.5-4.5 years)
& II (ages
4.5-6 years) Now
your child is ready to bring the music concepts he or she has been learning into
a new form. In this class, children learn all of the musical concepts they need
to play piano. Using games, activities, singing and instrument play, we'll learn
to feel the music from the inside out, and be more than ready for instrument lessons
after 2 or 3 semesters of this class. Rhythmic
Piano and Me (group
piano lessons) (ages
5-7 years) This
is a semi-private group piano lesson led by two teachers where your 5-7 year old
will join other children in group games and activites covering all the symbols
and concepts of music as they apply to learning to play the piano. They will rotate
onto the piano one at a time for some private instruction every week. Join us
at the end of every semester for a recital/mini-musical show the last day of class.
(5 year olds must complete the pre-requisite "Music, Piano and Me" unless
previously discussed with the teachers.) Upon completion of Rhythmic Piano &
Me I & II, your child will be ready to begin private piano lessons with the
piano teacher of your choice.

"Andrea
is always raising the bar, so she thought it was time to put together a band.
One toddler on shakers, one on xylophone, one on sticks, and one on bells. An
early lesson in teamwork and collaboration. They're all geniuses!"

Christina Engelbrecht, Contra Costa Sun "Music
class has been wonderful for my son, and great training for me as a mom. Andrea's
enthusiasm for the music and experience with children's developmental stages help
me to undersand what my child is capable of and how I can help him to grow. Mostly,
it's a wonderful way to share the pure enjoyment of music and movement with your
child." -
