Everything we do in a Kindermusik classroom has a reason. It's more than music and movement, and fun.
Here are a few reasons why we do certain activities:

When we bounce our children on our laps, we stimulate their vestibular system, which helps with balance and coordination; much needed for those with younger children.

When we put calming music on and rock with our children in our arms, we are teaching them to unwind and relax. This is very useful at the end of a hectic day.

When we look into our children's eyes, we strengthen our bond, and further develop their emotional foundation.

The ability to keep steady beat as a child is a strong indicator of later academic success, including linguistic development and improved ability to read and organize thought patterns. We have regular activities that promote steady beat; when we tap our rhythm sticks, shake our bells and eggshakers to the beat of a song or rhyme.
