Our Story
For 40 years Kindermusik of Charleston has inspired parents and families in the Mt. Pleasant and Charleston area to connect, learn, and grow through music! Kindermusik is the premier early childhood developmental music and movement curriculum for children from birth to age 6 and is the most highly researched curriculum available for families today.
The benefits of Kindermusik enhance your child's development in a myriad of ways including cognitive and academic readiness, early literacy, social and emotional growth, gross and fine motor development, and musical literacy as well as parent-child bonding. Kindermusik is focused on multi-sensory learning, process over performance and learning through play.
Kindermusik of Charleston is honored to be an award-winning TOP PROGRAM with Kindermusik International as the largest program in South Carolina and among the top 20 studios worldwide. We have received this award consistently over the last three decades since the inception of the awards program.

Playing instruments and mimicking fingerplays strengthen the hand muscles needed for critical tasks like writing.
Whole Body Movement
Moving to music builds core strength, develops eye-hand coordination, and stimulates the vestibular system.
Language: Receptive
Group music making enhances the ability to follow directions, comprehend stories, and confidently answer questions.
Language: Expressive
Vocal play activities boost phonemic awareness, while singing familiar songs enhances vocabulary.
Musical
Group music classes develop vocal skills, music appreciation, and a foundation for formal music instruction.

Since parents play the most important role in their children’s overall development, Kindermusik is centered around providing a learning experience for parents and children to explore music together.
It’s not about making little Mozarts. It’s about experiencing the joy of music and developing holistic skills at every stage of your child’s development. Starting as newborns and continuing through six years of age, Kindermusik fosters your child’s cognitive, physical, social, emotional, linguistic, and musical development.
Kindermusik is specifically designed to stimulate and strengthen your child’s neural activity through music and is supported by nearly 50 years of research at Kindermusik International, headquartered in Greensboro, North Carolina.
Kindermusik combines the learning models of Orff, Kodaly, and Suzuki to provide a robust musical curriculum that evolves as your child grows.
