A Good Beginning Never Ends


A Good Beginning Never Ends

Since this is Kindermusik’s 30th year in business, we are finding a number of parents who took Kindermusik classes themselves as a child. One such parent is Eddie M., a native of Greensboro, NC. He fondly remembers his mom taking him to Kindermusik at Greensboro College in the 1970’s. He learned to read music while participating in the Kindermusik for the Young Child class for 5 to 7 year olds, and went on to play the piano and recorder. More importantly, he gained an overall appreciation for music and its effect on his everyday life and decided that if he ever had kids he would want them to benefit from the Kindermusik experience.

True to his word, years later Eddie enrolled his daughter Madeleine in Kindermusik classes so she could have the same “hands on” experience with music that has stayed with him throughout his life. He kept his glockenspiel and books from his own class, so when Madeleine advanced to the Kindermusik for the Young Child curriculum they were able to play music together. By carrying on this tradition, Eddie is a great example of Kindermusik being a good beginning that never ends.
