gift-of-musicGive the Gift of Instruments this Holiday Season! 

An instrument collection is a must for every musical child.

  • With instruments available at home, your child can take their Kindermusik class experience to any room in the house or even the car. Your monthly tuition becomes an investment!
  • We believe in the value of a home instrument collection! In fact, we believe in it so much, we’ve been including instruments with your enrollment since we opened in 2004! With each year that you stay with our program, we will help you build an engaging collection that develops their sense of rhythm, strengthens their auditory skills, and motivates them to create their own music.
  • Your child’s instrument collection becomes a picture of their progression. The instruments will tell the story of the first time they tapped an egg shaker or the first time they kept the beat with you using sand blocks, or their first ensemble with resonator bars in a preschool class.

Making music with new instruments over time, invites your child to master fine motor skills, develop steady beat, develop early ensemble skills, increase rhythmic awareness, and more. (BONUS: Research tells us that steady beat activities enhance a child’s language acquisition, too!)

As you look to add to your child’s collection or give instruments to a friend, we are sharing our favorites by age with several links to the Online Store at Kindermusik.

Our Favorite Drum for Home: Remo Kids Floor Tom Drum from West Music. It’s an instrument that will last 20 years (no kidding). We invite you to use your hands to make a variety of sounds rather than the mallet. It will strengthen your child’s hand while producing many different timbres or sounds. Your child will be tapping, scraping, tracing, hammer, knocking, rubbing, and tickling to the steady beat!
