As part of the commitment to providing high quality arts experiences to all people in the area, Tryon Fine Arts Center (TFAC)will begin the third year of Kindermusik classes for children and their caregivers in September 2013.

TFAC will offer classes just for children birth to 2 years old on Friday mornings and for children 2-6 on Saturday mornings led by educator, Bryant Belin.

Kindermusik’s research-based programs are designed to enhance a young child’s development.  In a Kindermusik class, children play and learn through activities using age-appropriate music and movement.

Parents play with them, learning more about their child’s developmental process. The shared learning experience creates a unique bond as the child associates learning with fun, musical play.

Proven benefits incorporated within the Kindermusik system include improved coordination and balance, as well as critical and creative thinking skills. The one-on-one parent and child interaction nurtures self-esteem, while the music-making and music listening activities develop self-discipline.

The Kindermusik program continues the learning process at home, guided by specially designed books, CDs and games.
