Priscilla Swee swapped a writer's pen for a pair of Kindermusik rhythm sticks in Jakarta, Indonesia

No more writer's block. Priscilla Swee, a former writer and advertising director, makes the Kindermusik class a mix of fun, patience and cute child talk. After the birth of her daughter she decided to swap her pen for rhythm sticks and bells, and in the process reconnected with her own love of music. 

“Music is like the vehicle in Kindermusik because it unlocks so many things in a child. Music just seems to reach out to them and help them express themselves,” Priscilla said. “When kids sing out loud, you see their happiness and growing confidence. And when you combine music and movement, I think that’s when you see the magic of Kindermusik.”

How to really love a child

Via the "Joyful Mother."

What's going on in there?

Think you know what happens when music and a child play together? Take a look at this new article, "What Happens To Your Brain Under the Influence of Music." (Thank you, Isiah!)

Good Beginning

"I have seen the amazing results that occur teaching students a second language through music and movement."

Not bad for a day's work, eh?

Helen Peterson is a Kindermusik educator based in the Twin Cities in Minnesota. In this video, she welcomes new families to her fall classes, and provides just a glimpse into what children and their caregivers can experience in a Kindermusik class:

• exposure to a wide variety of music -- from Classical music to multi-lingual folk songs from around the world
• activities to develop physical coordination and critical thinking skills 
• activities to develop a child's multi-sensory learning strengths
• weekly classes to create a sense of community among new parents 
• experiences to develop a new parent's sense of "parenting esteem" (self-esteem)

You can do so much for the new families in your community -- and yourself! -- when you become a Kindermusik Educator.
