She spent twice the amount of class time with my daughter every week until she was satisfied of her progress. Tatsiana employs classic techniques of voice training and her results are remarkable. Her education in classical music and voice is par with any musician in the area and beyond. I highly reccomend both her piano and voice classes to any studend of any age.

I like that the children are encouraged to learn additional skills such has prioritizing their own work and that they're not simply following directions. My children have all done very well there and the problems they were facing in the public school system slipped away as they progressed through the grades at Children's Montessori School. There are things I wish were better but that would be true anywhere. I'm very pleased with the experience from my children's educational and developmental perspective.

Kindermusik with Kathy is truly the best. I wish I had joined earlier! My almost three year old…read moreis in love with the classes, with Miss. Kathy, the songs, every part of the experience. My 5 1/2 year old is taking the Young Child 1 class and is having a blast while learning musical theory (although he doesn't know that's what he's doing!) piano, glockenspiel, note reading. The integration of movement into the class makes this truly special in that children are not just getting music classes, they are building body awareness, coordination, strength, and more. Kathy is genuinely wonderful and her teachers are also fantastic. She is warm, loving, inviting, understanding, and the kids can feel it and respond in kind. Lastly, money & schedule-wise this is by far the way to do music classes. You pay one monthly fee and then you can take your child to any of the classes (at any fo the locations!) for their age-group plus any of the family classes. Both my kids straddle the age between two different classes and Kathy has encouraged us to attend all of them when the timing is right. This is something special and personal. The music classes themselves are of the highest quality but what really makes Kindermusik with Kathy exceptional is Kathy herself. The way she runs the program makes it clear to all of us that she truly values each and every family and wants us to get the most out of the program. Plus, for the baby/toddler/[preschooler music classes there's no need to worry about make-up classes as you are able to go to any of all of them. Can't beat that!

They learn 4 instruments over the course of a year(recorder, piano, glockenspiel, and dulcimer) and they learn how to read notes and play songs as group with other kids playing different parts. They learn the music not in an academic way, but in a kinesthetic way. First they clap, sing or stomp the music out before they ever play a note. They act out songs and stories from all over the world. Kathy is so playful and engaging with an expert grasp on the method behind the music. Kathy is one of their all time favorite teachers and they have such a love for music because of Kinder Musik. There is something for every age group!
