Kindermusik® of Clayton & Voice of Clayton provides music instruction to children, from birth to 8 years of age, through a variety of classes and from 8 years - adult through private voice study in Clayton, North Carolina. The Kindermusik® curriculum teaches an integrated, whole child approach to music education focusing on process rather than performance. It is a unique program of music learning and enjoyment that nurtures the total development of the young child. An integral part of each child’s experience is the focus on family interaction during class and the encouragement to continue the learning experience during the week, at home, so that music becomes a natural and important part of family life. Kindermusik® of Clayton believes the parent to be the ultimate teacher and provides appropriate instruction and guidance for the parent to be successful in a musical environment. Kindermusik® of Clayton will provide each participant quality instruments and materials that are recommended by Kindermusik® International as a part of the Kindermusik® requirement.
“The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future life.” - Plato
The above statement encourages the idea that we can influence the direction our children’s lives grow in this world. It is my belief that starting at the very youngest age, music has the power to mold us. It gives us a medium for expression, sparks our sensory connectors into action in our brains, and makes the most fun out of the most complex listening experiences. In my opinion, music plays a major role in the education of our children. Through Kindermusik® you will create a relationship with your child that is different from any other type of bonding you will experience. Use the talents you possess, for the woods would be very silent if no birds sang except the best.” – Henry Van D**e. Voice lessons are offered for children 8 years through adult and scheduled once a week during the school year. New students are added as space is available. One way of making an easy transition into the fall schedule is to take summer lessons if you are a new student. A Summer camps and a mini-summer semester are available June-August and new students are encouraged to begin at this time. This typically consists of a set number of lessons arranged with both of our schedules in mind. Pageant coaching is also available on a limited basis as time permits.
