WHAT PARENTS SAY
My son started Kindermusik classes at 5 months old. I truly believe music education has not only encouraged his speech development, but has also built his self confidence. Kindermusik class is truly one of the highlights of our week!

I am so thankful we found Smart Start Kindermusik when we relocated to the Dallas area. My son enjoys the class so much, and I see the benefits at home; coordination, movement, and even simple concepts like 'stop' and 'go' can be learned through music.
