ABC Music & Me was created by Kindermusik International.

Using Kindermusik’s early learning method and ongoing research on the ways today’s children learn best, we’ve created an arts-integrated approach to school readiness.

The classroom-proven strategies in ABC Music & Me:

~Accelerate reading, writing, and math skills
~Nurture a child’s life-long love of learning
~Improve classroom behavior and school readiness
~Engage parents in the learning process
~Provide easily adaptable activities to ensure every student’s success in the classroom—regardless of background

What happens in class

Tune active listening skills as children are exposed to a variety of musical genres, sounds, poems, and stories each month. Critical listening activites help “tune” a child’s ear for improved phonemic awareness and pronunciation.

Invite conversation about cultures and traditions by listening to music and genres from around the world, such as jazz, folk, Latin American music, World music, Bach, and Mozart. Introducing a variety of sounds will provide opportunities to connect the music to other activities throughout the day.

Pattern recognition improves with exposure to rhythm and repetition of the integrated songs and stories.

Strengthen memory and increase attention span through new songs, stories, and rhymes with sufficient repetition to help children remember what they’ve learned.

Boost vocabulary with a variety of poems, songs and stories.

Music and movement play-alongs and ensemble activities develop hand-eye-coordination, physical coordination, and a sense of rhythm to help carry out activities such as using a pair of scissors.

Stop-and-go, as well as creative movement and dance activities improve coordination, sequencing, self-control, the ability to follow directions, and plan and guide behavior.

Abstract and spatial-reasoning skills develop with the introduction of new music vocabulary, notation, and concepts.

Child-directed learning happens when children share ideas in class and at home with Home Kits.
