Kindermusik with Kathy's Music Promotes Success in Math


Researchers have found that there is a definite connection between music, patterns, and mathematics.  

Kindermusik classes make rich use of music and movement to explore patterns and help your child reach developmental milestones.  We guide the group in listening for changes in a musical patterns.  In instrument play alongs, your child creates or imitates a pattern of sound.  In storytelling, your child learns the sequence of events. And in movement games, we practice imitating a pattern of movement.  All of these activities help prepare your child for success in math.

When your child promotes to Kindermusik for the Young child (ages 5-7), we will explore patterns as we transition from aural learning to the written symbols of music.  We will explore patterns in rhythms and patterns in the melody on the musical staff.  We will discover the sequences  of the melody in simple songs.  We will practice the patterns in music as we create musical ensembles together using a variety of instruments. 

There’s so much more to come in our Kindermusik journey that will help your child be successful in math while learning to be a young musician, just like the children pictured above who are learning to play the Dulcimer in our Young Child Semester 3 program.
