The Performance School of Music Launches Fall Semester At Grimsby Museum
Grimsby, Ontario – Last week, the Performance School of Music launched its new semester classes of Kindermusik, the world’s leading music and movement program for children from birth to seven years of age.
Kindermusik fosters the total development of young children through a combination of music and movement. Parents with newborns, toddlers, and 4 through 7-year-old children can participate in Kindermusik activities -- jingling bells, pounding drums, floating scarves, “hooting” owl sounds and little feet moving in time to music -- for a valuable learning experience for both the child and the parent or caregiver.
The Performance School of Music offers a complete development program where both children and parents learn through music and movement. Grimsby native Jennifer Averink founded the Performance School of Music 10 years ago in Burlington and began offering Kindermusik classes in 2004. Over the past three years Averink has built her Kindermusik program to Maestro status, an award from Kindermusik International in recognition of having proven masterful in reaching large numbers of families with the Kindermusik experience. Last month, Jennifer returned to Grimsby along with Kindermusik educators- Kelly Tiernay and Renae Witten, to launch her latest Kindermusik program, being offered at the Grimsby Museum.
Jennifer Averink strongly believes that Kindermusik provides a powerful experience for a child. “The many songs and activities in Kindermusik class enhance a child’s total development by strengthening physical, emotional, social, and cognitive skills at a very early age,” explains Averink. “Teaching children through Kindermusik has allowed me to experience the joy of watching children learn and grow through music. Kindermusik creates a warm, creative learning environment for both parents and children.”
Free demo classes are being offered this month for new families of all age groups, newborn to five years. Classes being offered this session are Village, newborns to 1½ years; Our Time, 1½ years to 3 years; Imagine That!, 3 to 5 year olds; and Sign & Sing, a sign language class, 6 months to 3 years old. This semester the Performance School of Music is offering classes at the Grimsby Museum on Monday mornings, Tuesday mornings and early afternoons and Saturday mornings.
