Kindermusik & Music Therapy

As music therapist and licensed Kindermusik educator, Julie Wade, explains in this two minute video, Kindermusik offers the perfect opportunity for music therapists to expand their practice, while continuing to use music and movement as a tool to aid in the development of all children.

Music therapists are discovering that Kindermusik brings new clients into their private practices, especially since the Kindermusik classroom environment celebrates the individuality of each child and offers a research-proven curriculum. You can be part of the world's most carefully researched, developmentally based musical learning program - and still balance the other priorities in your life. In short, it's the easiest and most rewarding way to put your own gifts to work. Kindermusik educators create a safe and nurturing setting that is respectful of children's developmental states and invites them to explore, learn, grow and contribute with their families. Kindermusik is a great choice for music therapists currently practicing in either a clinical or classroom environment; for small groups or one-to-one interaction. Because our philosophies are similar, music therapists can very easily become a part of the Kindermusik educator community.

o "Being able to integrate both typically developed & special needs kids in a positive and therapeutic environment is a dream come true. All special needs children can benefit from the Kindermusik classroom" ~ Julie Wade, music therapist for 25 years and licensed Kindermusik educator for 12 years
o "Kindermusik builds a foundation for a lifetime of learning through the love of music, development of social-emotional skills, early literacy and language skills, reasoning and early math skills, self-control, self-awareness and self-confidence skills, which are all presented in an interactive and fun environment." ~Candace B., licensed Kindermusik educator & music therapist
o "As a family, we have found Kindermusik to be very beneficial for all of our boys, but especially for Hayden. It takes a lot of the concepts we work on in OT & PT & puts them into one element, music, which is one of the things Hayden loves most." ~A Kindermusik parent for 9 years & mother to three boys, one of whom is special needs
o "As a mom of a 10-month-old baby, I am always looking for music classes and activities that promote my babies development. So, I signed my little one for Kindermusik with Candice. This is a terrific class, taught by Miss Candace, who is a certified musical therapist attuned to each child's phase of development. My little guy enjoyed her lesson and we are looking to attend more of her classes." ~ Lisa Marie M., Kindermusik parent
o "I've been to several music classes from different providers and NONE of them compare to Kindermusik. Kindermusik isn't a glorified play date with music as a backdrop, it's so much more. I not only chose Kindermusik, I chose Kindermusik by Musical Pathways Foundation (Madison, WI.). I've learned how to be a better parent and teacher to my children. With Kindermusik there's a reason for everything we do in class--everything is a building block. The best part is we are told how it all fits together." ~ Jill C., posted on Kindermusik's Facebook page
