Hello...first post here. As a 15 year Kindermusik educator I must say that the appropriate presentation of this curriculum should follow all developmental needs of the child using music as the springboard. Vocal development, pre-keyboard, two string dulcimer and recorder are introduced at ages 5 and 6, but the very important social aspect of music is enjoyed before beginning private lessons at such a young age. Orff, Kodaly, and other early childhood music masters have been integrated into the program, but any "program" is only as good as it's teacher. Children become musically literate in that both graphic and traditional notation are introduced. It's all about planting seeds.

Anyway, just had to jump in here BECAUSE my 21 year old jazz singer daughter who has studied several instruments in her growing up years (among 2 music teacher parents) was obsessed with Baby Beluga at age 2. We thought we would never hear the end of "again, Baby Beluga, again!"

Back hard at "clarinetting" for a July gig, so glad to find this board!
