Enrollment week--let's talk philosophy

Here we are at Friday of our enrollment week (already!). Thanks to all who have already signed up! If you haven't yet, my offer of a free Kindermusik CD for early registration is good until Dec 1st.

Below, in case you haven't come across it before, is Kindermusik's philosophy. While I was at the Kindermusik International conference, among several hundred other Kindermusik Educators from all over the world, and dozens of employee/owners from KI headquarters in North Carolina, I could see for myself that this philosophy is in action. I love teaching early childhood music, and I'm especially fond of teaching the Kindermusik curriculum. They do rigorous research, they use tight quality controls on their at-home materials, and they are constantly offering learning opportunities for educators and parents. They are doing great work.

The Kindermusik philosophy:
Every parent is the child's most important teacher.
Every child is musical.
The home is the most important learning environment.
Music nurtures a child's cognitive, emotional, social, language, and physical development.
Every child should experience the joy, fun, and learning which music brings to life.
