Welcome To Kindermusik!
If this is your FIRST Kindermusik experience, you may have questions about what to expect in your first Kindermusik class! Some parents worry because their child seems more shy or quiet during activities and other parents worry that their child is TOO active and not paying attention or focusing during activities. On my website, I have written about some typical behaviors you might observe during class. Children will react to Kindermusik class differently from one another. The most important thing for you to do as a parent, is to relax and have fun! This is a place for your child to learn and grow the way he/she likes best (and that may change moment to moment)! You will find the most success if you follow your child's lead and be a patient and gentle guide.

We can't wait for Kindermusik to start! Nick has been asking about it all summer. Great idea to start the blog Tricia. I'm excited to see what you recommend for "homework."
