Young Child—4 to 7 years

She almost has a supersonic sense of hearing, one that identifies a wide range of sounds. It's helping her develop this newfound ability to read and one that comes with a new sense of freedom to explore and learn. For your child, that means being free to discover new worlds, languages, and cultures.

New! Tell Me a Tale

Through storytelling your child will develop an early awareness of rhythm, movement, singing, and drama. Each lesson features a new tale from around the world, explored through multi-instrument and multi-cultural elements. All told, it's an around-the-imagination adventure of the greatest stories from Europe, Malaysia, South Africa, and more.

At Home Materials: Take Home book and CD, Parent Poster with additional activities and special instrument—Lummi sticks.

Around the World

Say hello in five languages when you visit a new place each lesson: Germany, Japan, Africa, England, and Mexico. Play the native instruments. Drape sheets over cardboard boxes and sing over German mountaintops. Toss peanuts on the floor and bring good luck to one's home with this Japanese custom. Send messages in Nigeria with "talking drums."

At Home Materials include: Five full-color picture folders each depicting a different theme, Home CD, Parent's brochure describing the curriculum, Arts and Crafts materials for classroom and home activities.

Sample activity

Rima de Chocolate this activity is from the Kindermusik camp Around the World.

Teach your child this traditional Spanish language hand-clapping activity about making chocolate and she has something she can teach her friends.

Hear a sample of children playing this song.

Stand and face your child, hold hands, and speak the chant while doing the hand motions.




Uno, dos, tres, cho-   Hold hands. Alternate pulling your left and right arms
back and forth through the end of the first verse.
Uno, dos, tres, co-    
Uno, dos, tres, la-    
Uno, dos, tres, te.    

Cho-co-la-te, cho-co-la-te.   Holding hands tightly spin faster and faster until the end.
Bate, bate, el chocolate!
