WHAT PARENTS SAY

My father was a music therapist so I am very much aware of the impact that music can have on the brain. We are a proud Kindermusik family and Smart Start Music is our first step into formal education! It's where we wake up those baby brain cells and get them ready to learn!

Dr. CHRISTIANA RISSING

I have one child in Kindermusik and one that just graduated.  Both girls love music and have learned so much.  My oldest could read music by the age of six!.  But more importantly, Kindermusik has developed a love of music within them that will last a lifetime.
