Kindermusik classes provide fun, music, and movement activities to foster brain development in babies and young children, while helping them bond with parents. Psychologists, neuroscientists, and experts in early childhood development have demonstrated that music does more for children than bring them joy; it helps their brain make the connections needed for virtually every kind of intelligence. Kindermusik’s curriculum is built on this research.
After completing a comprehensive training program that incorporates education in child development and music concepts from Kindermusik International, Shauna Davis has received her Kindermusik license and has opened a studio in Morrison, IL. Now trained to tap into the different developmental stages and learning styles of children, Davis is poised to bring the joys of music and movement to the children and families of Morrison, and make available the long-lasting and far-reaching benefits to all areas of development–physical, cognitive, social and emotional.
Since 1978, more than two million families in over 70 countries have enjoyed Kindermusik music and movement classes, beginning as early as their first infant months. Classes involve a mixture of singing, instrument play, dancing and movement, storytime, and other activities that help children and their families discover how music can enrich their lives and lay the foundation for a lifelong love of learning.
A few key benefits to the classes:
Activities are designed to develop and strengthen a child’s physical and neural functions, social-emotional skills, early literacy, early math, and much more.
The style of the class allows for parent/child bonding moments. This bonding boosts learning.. Music and movement classes can spark learning in young children, and when done in conjunction with a parent, can help build bonds between parent and child.
Parents are supplied with home materials that can continue the fun and learning after class and provide valuable resources for great parenting.
“Kindermusik classes give parents the opportunity to engage in safe, fun and developmentally appropriate music-and-movement experiences with children ages newborn to seven,” said Scott Kinsey, President of Kindermusik International. “Our educators are our most vital asset to the success of Kindermusik, and we welcome Shauna Davis to our Kindermusik community.”
According to a 2005 Harris Interactive poll, 99 percent of Kindermusik parents would recommend the program to other parents. Parents are encouraged to visit the new Kindermusik location and try a free class.

“Sing & Play” Music Class for Young Toddlers is a high-energy music class designed specifically for children one and two years of age. New curriculum has a large focus on movement, helping to build muscles your baby needs to walk, and vocal development, helping nurture your child’s speaking and singing voice. The combination of parent and child activities, as well as child-focused activities, you’ll be able to recognize and observe how your baby or toddler learns.
In “Sing & Play” you will experience:
Instrument play. Age-appropriate experiences with child-safe instruments enhance a sense of rhythm and steady beat, develop a keen awareness of the distinguishing qualities of sound, and encourage spontaneity and creativity.
Dance: A classroom full of baby and adult pairs dancing together helps a little body develop the muscle strength needed to crawl and walk and helps a little heart to fall in love with the sheer joy of responding to music.
Exploration Time: Your child’s natural curiosity will be stimulated in our infant music classes, in an inviting environment of discovering specially designed instruments, textures, sounds, movements, interesting objects, and baby-safe props.
Musical concepts: Even the littlest musicians and their parents benefit from early exposure to basic musical fundamentals like loud and quiet, musical form, tempo, timbre, steady beat, and more!
