Listening and turn-taking encourage blossoming social skills.

Kindermusik Our Time is designed for children 1½ years to 3 years of age.  And children are 3yo until they are 4!  Along with an accompanying parent or caregiver, children meet weekly for a 45-minute class and enjoy singing, moving, listening and interacting socially, and playing simple instruments. Exploration Time encourages a child's discovery of specially designed instruments, textures, sounds and movements; language skills are fostered with singing, sound imitation, and vocal play; Music & Movement Story Time encourages emergent literacy skills; and creative dancing affirms a child's urge to move.

Listen as your child astonishes you with her newfound ability to create musical compositions.

Kindermusik provides the opportunity to explore voice development, rhythm, notation, musical symbols and authentic pre-keyboard, string and woodwind instruments.

After completing this course your child is in a much better position to judge what instrument they would like to learn.

Young Child helps every child develop a confident, joyful voice for singing and speaking as well as essential building blocks for a future of learning. Designed for children ages 4½ through 7 years, classes meet once a week for 60 minutes. Students explore many facets of the musical experience-speaking, singing, moving, dancing, listening, creating and playing instruments, as well as learning about reading and writing music. As the capstone to the child's Kindermusik journey, Young Child broadens and deepens the child's introduction to the fulfillment and excitement of musicianship.

Family Time 

Family Time is a class for the whole family, children aged 0-5 years....

Family Time brings adults and children of all ages together, providing a dynamic and integrated musical learning experience for everyone

Classes are held Mondays at 10am and Wednesdays at 11am.   This class is also suitable for Family Day Care providers and their carees. 

As I am on the executive of the Cairns Branch of the Music Teachers Association, there will possibly be one Monday a month where lessons will not be held, therefore I will just run a 10 week semester for Monday Family Time.  Please email me if you wish to enrol in this class.

 In Make Way for Music, families will sing, dance, and move their way through an exploration of several elements of music: beat and rhythm, concepts and contrasts (such as staccato and legato, high and low, the major scale, and arpeggios), the human voice, instrument families, and ensemble. They’ll engage in developmentally appropriate activities that the whole family can enjoy together, including fingerplays, songs, circle dances, story time, and family jam.

Home Materials: Two books—Drum Circle and Animals on Parade, two Home CDs,  Family Guide, an instrument-matching board game and two fingerdrums.  The first two families to enrol will also receive a lion puppet to match the "Animals on Parade"!

Classes are $395 for a 2 or 3 child family, and $255 for a one child family  If you have two or more children, please enrol online at www.kindermusik.com and put 4870 in the search.  If you have just a single child, please email Nicole at kindermusikwithnicole@yahoo.com.au and she will send you an enrolment form and  package (the online enrolment system has it's limitations, sorry!)

Children with Special Needs... 

http://mindsonmusic.kindermusik.com/kindermusik-is-for-every-child-special-needs-in-the-kindermusik-classroom/

I have had many students who have vision impairments, speech impediments, learnings difficulties and other developmental delays.  Please do not hesitate to contact me on 40342219 or 0418 772258 or kindermusikwithnicole@yahoo.com.au to find the class which is best suited to your child. 

EVERY child will benefit from a Kindermusik class. 

YOU are your child's most important teacher, but I can help you along the way.....  It is usual that for the first semester, even if they are 4 years old, they may need to enrol in Our Time for a semester.  Then, depending on their developmental age, they can usually move into other curriculas.

ABC Music & Me 

ABC Music & Me is a new innovation from Kindermusik.  Originally designed for the day-care centre setting, Nicole is now offering these classes as a four-weekly commitment.  Ideal for the Family Day Care provider, both carers and children get to enjoy a new theme every four weeks.

 Classes will be run as required, so please email Nicole and she will advise of availability and themes available.
