Summer 2012 Kindermusik Schedule

It's hard to believe it's already time to think about summer!!  I've finalized my schedule and am excited to be able to offer Kindermusik Summer Camps in both June and July.  Summer Camps are 5 session classes which meet every day for five days in a row.  I'm really looking forward to teaching in this format for the summer.  I think your kiddos will love looking forward to a whole week of Kindermusik fun!!

In June I'll be teaching the week of June 4-8.  From 9:30-10:30 each morning I'll offer "Creatures in My Backyard" for 18 months-3 year olds.  Parents (or another adult) attend this class with their child.  Home materials for this class include:  Home CD, Ladybug shaker and a scarf.   The cost is $70 for both tuition and materials for the week.  A $25 materials fee must be received by May 23 to ensure time for materials to be ordered. 

Also the week of June 4-8, I'll offer "Tell Me A Tale" which is for 4-7 year olds.  This class will meet each morning from 11:00 a.m-12:00 p.m.  Parents may choose to attend with their child or have the child attend without an adult.  Tuition and materials cost is $70 for the week.  Home materials include:  Home CD, Book, Poster, and a pair of Lummi Sticks.

In July I"ll offer "Zoo Train" during the week of July 9-13th.  This class is for 18 months-3 year olds.  It will meet from 9:30-10:30 each morning.  Parents (or another adult) attend this class with their child.  Home materials for this class include:  Home CD, Book, Poster, and a Funky Chunky Animal Shaker.  The cost is $70 for tuition and materials for the week.

Spring Schedule is set!!!

Now is the time to start thinking about Kindermusik for next semester.  I am pleased to offer the following classes:

Our Time (18 months-3 years) will be offered on Thursdays from 9:15-10:00 a.m. Classes begin February 2nd and run for 15 weeks until May 10th.  Total cost for this class is $200.  Tuition is $145 and the home materials cost is $55.

Kindermusik for the Young Child Semester 2 (5-7 years) will be offered on Wednesdays from 6:00-6:45 p.m. Total cost for this class is $200.  Tuition is $145 and the home materials cost is $55.  (NOTE:  If your child has not previously taken Kindermusik for the Young Child, your home materials fee will be $78 instead of $55 because they will need a glockenspiel and bag.)  Classes begin January 11th/January 12th and meet for 15 weeks with the last classes of the semester on April 18th/April 19th.

Kindermusik is a wonderful opportunity for your child to experience movement and music in a fun setting with other children.  The gains they will make in all developmental areas are tremendous.  Research shows that music makes kids smarter!!

If you are interested in this experience for your child, think about asking grandparents to bless your child with the gift of Kindermusik this Christmas.  I am offering a 10% Earlybird discount of $14.50 off tuition if you pay your tuition in full by December 16, 2011.  Your materials fee will be due by January 3, 2012 to ensure materials delivery before the first class.

If you are interested or have more questions, please contact me at (712) 527-9276 or by email at lambertlaurak@aol.com.  You may also enroll online using the ENROLL NOW button on the right sidebar.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!!!!

Now offering more classes!

I'm so excited to announce that I will be offering four new Kindermusik options this fall.  Kindermusik has a great variety of 4-week curricula for children ages 2-4 and 4-6.  I've decided to make some of those classes available in October and November. This is a great option for those of you who have wanted to try out Kindermusik but haven't been able to enroll due to schedules, time, or cost.  As always, your tuition for these classes will include excellent home materials which you can use to extend your child's learning at home.

The ABC Music & Me classes that I will offer include:

For 2-4 year olds:

On the Go gets children moving.  They will use their locomotor skills—and their active imaginations—to drive in cars, chug along in trains, zoom and soar in planes, and bumpity-bump in buses.  It’s non-stop learning as you explore the learning focus:  “I can move quickly and slowly.  I have creative ideas.”

This class will meet Saturdays from 10:00-10:30 a.m. on October 15, 22, 29 & November 5.

Home Sweet Home uses everyday tasks around the house to explore the learning focus:  “I can move high and low.  I can make high and low sounds.  I can pretend.”  Children will have fun rap-rap-rapping, pop-pop-popping, and splash-splash-splashing their way through a great big house in their great big imaginations.

This class will meet Saturdays from 10:00-10:30 a.m. on November 12 & 19 & December 3 & 10.

For 4-6 year olds:

Jazz Kitchen takes music, sounds, and instruments…..into the kitchen!  In Jazz Kitchen children will explore food in its many dimensions….shopping at the grocery store, then heating up the kitchen with chopping, dicing, making toast, and cooking noodles from scratch—all to the rhythms and sounds of jazz.  They’ll also explore quarter-note and eighth-note rhythms with their hands, their bodies, and possibly a keyboard.

This class will meet on Saturdays from 9:15-9:45 a.m. on October 15, 22, 29 & November 5.

Jumping Beans jumps into the rhythms of Latin America!  Children will listen to a variety of Latin music styles, play instruments, dance, and investigate the concept of a musical rest.  They will move and stop their bodies, explore expressive movement, sing some Spanish words and phrases, and even jump like jumping beans.  Ole!

This class will meet on Saturdays from 9:15-9:45 a.m. on November 12 & 19 & December 3 & 10.

Tuition is $50 for each class.  This includes four 30-minute class sessions and Home Materials.  

If you enroll by October 4^th, you can take advantage of our Fall 2011 Promo which allows you to enroll in 2 classes for $90.  Additionally, if you enroll two siblings, you will receive a sibling discount of $90/2 classes.  If you have children who fall into each age group, but would like to enroll them in the same session for convenience, just visit with me and we can make arrangements for that to happen.

To enroll, contact Laura Lambert at:  712-527-9276 or lambertlaurak@aol.com or use the “Enroll Now” link on the right sidebar of this website.  I would love to have your child/ren in class this fall!!


Incidentally, I also have openings in my other three classes.  Contact me if you are interested in finding out more about these semester-long classes.

I still have openings for Kindermusik!!

It's been a while since I've posted over here.  I just wanted to let you know that I still have openings in all three Kindermusik classes.  Our Time (18 months-3 years) meets on Thursdays from 9:15-10:00 a.m. and is almost full with a few spots left.  Imagine That!  (3-5 year olds)  meets on Wednesdays from 5:30-6:15 p.m. and is half full.  Young Child (5-7 years) meets on Wednesdays from 6:45-7:45 p.m. and has several spots left.  Please let me know ASAP if you are interested in enrolling.  I am placing a materials order really soon!

Kindermusik Tuition Adjustment!!

Hello, all!  To make a very long story short, I have not had complete access to the "SHOP" page of the Kindermusik teacher's store until today.  Therefore, to set prices for the Home Materials for each class, I was going from an old price list that I had.  The good news is that I got access to the "shop" today and saw that there were discounted prices on the Home Materials for all three classes.  What this means is that the total cost for each class will be slightly less than what was originally posted on this blog.  If you click on the Kindermusik tab above you'll be able to see the new and accurate prices.  Please contact me with any questions. 

Studio Photos!

Just wanted to let you all know that I've added photos to the Studio page.  Click on the "Studio" link above for a virtual tour!!
