Newborn SPECIAL!

A special 9-week newborn series designed for babies ages 0–6 months and their moms! It brings together the joy and developmental benefits of Kindermusik with something new parents especially value during those first few months: access to knowledgeable professionals, practical guidance, and a supportive community of other moms.

Each week begins with developmentally appropriate music and movement led by a music therapist, giving you meaningful ways to bond, play, communicate, and connect with your baby. But the experience goes beyond music.

Throughout the series, you'll have opportunities to learn from experts in infant and maternal development, including professionals in speech and early communication, physical therapy, occupational therapy, lactation, and postpartum support. These sessions are designed to give you practical information you can actually use at home while also giving you a comfortable place to ask the questions that naturally come with having a new baby.

You’ll explore topics such as how your baby begins communicating before words, ways to encourage healthy movement and motor development, understanding sensory development and play, feeding and lactation support, and caring for yourself during the postpartum season.

The goal is to give you trusted resources and connections while creating a village where both you and your baby can grow.

They develop highly focused listening skills and the ability to play in an ensemble creating music with others.

Your child will receive beautiful home materials that include a glockenspiel, two-string dulcimer and recorder as well as weekly games and activity pages that they can share at home. All class music is downloaded to your personalized Kindermusik app. Weekly parent information sheets help you fully engage with them at home.
