Hey Preschool Moms!

Do you desire to give your kids a musical environment to learn piano and theory at an early age without struggle -- and in only minutes a day?

Then, KinderBach is here for you!

KinderBach: online piano and music theory program for children ages 2 to 7 in six levels

I know you're busy! I'm a mom of 8, and I get it.

But, as a music teacher, I know how important it is to begin musical training at the earliest of ages! 

The sooner kids learn about pitch and rhythm, the better musically they will be as they grow, whether they choose to become professional musicians, just sing for fun among friends, or play the guitar for relaxation on their own at home.

KinderBach makes it easy & fun!

You don’t need any formal music education as a parent!

The KinderBach Parent Guide gives you a heads-up on basic music theory.

The Six Areas of Musical Development:

1. Ear or Listening Skills – Beginning with the range of sound from high to low and loud to quiet, recognition and duplication of melodies and rhythm, essentially for playing by ear.

2. Sight or Note Reading – Recognizing the letter names of the individual keys on the piano, reading notes on staff, patterns and direction of music, and understanding simplified chord symbols.

3. Rhythm – Understanding the beat value and rhythm of notes and their placement within different time signatures.

4. Hand Position or Technique (for playing the piano) – Understanding the piano finger numbering system, differentiating between left and right hands, and strengthening fine motor skills. Proper hand position at the piano is introduced and modeled in much the same way as penmanship in school.

5. Singing – Vocalizing music adds to the pleasure of music education. Singing is an essential building block for playing by ear.

6. Composition – Guidance in using the tools and skills learned to create music. The composition area of the KinderBach curriculum teaches the student not to simply copy or recite music, but to create it– making music a true outlet for artistic expression.
