Musik at Home

Was he right? ⬆️

I believe he was!

Rhythm is the foundation of music.

Much of Debussy’s impressionistic work is so fluid and beautiful, I think sometimes it’s easy to be so deeply immersed in the music that we could forget that rhythmic structure is everywhere in his music.

When you listen for it, it’s always there.

Have you played Debussy’s music for your children or students?

Children can learn to feel the rhythm in his music.

Move. Dance.

Get the rhythm in your body.

When the time comes,

… encouraged them to begin playing it on their instrument. It is life changing.

I was a new mom with a baby in my arms right after Christmas.

I spent the first year of my daughter’s life diving into beloved Christmas Carols. I found my voice that year in writing new melodies for familiar and unfamiliar carols.

This is one I found in my hymnal called, Gentle Mary. I gave it a new melody and added a chorus.

I commissioned a friend of mine to write out all the parts for an orchestra.

He did it in record time.

I got to perform this piece on piano and vocals with a full orchestra. It was the highlight of my Christmas that year, way back in 2012.

What I love about Christmas music is that it’s new again every year.

I crowdfunded this album with the help of my amazing friends and family.

There’s nothing quite like the support of your community when it comes to making beautiful music and launching new art into the world.

My album, Born This Day, is available everywhere you stream music.

If you listen, I hope it brings you closer to the true meaning of this season.

I think the one that made the Final Cut for the cover carries the mystery and joy that the album is meant to bring to life. What do you think?

One of the best decisions I ever made was recording while my kids were little— they’ve grown up asking for “mama singing” for their lullabies at home and in the car. It’s precious to me.

We had the most beautiful visit with , her husband, and their twins!

Hilary invited me to bring music into their home for their children to experience my imaginative, playful, audiation-based classes. I was all in! ❤️🎶✨

The twins were so ready for me because Hilary and her husband have been doing Musik at Home classes with them consistently for around six months. It’s astounding how much music children effortlessly absorb in early childhood. ✨

What most parents don’t know is that spending just 10-15 minutes every day doing audiation-based music activities can give your child lifelong musical skills that become naturally woven into the fabric of who they are.

Audiation is the ability to think in the language of music just like we think thoughts in our minds without saying them out loud.

When we understand the language of music, every encounter with music becomes more meaningful. Music is everywhere!

The language of music is made up of rhythm and tonal patterns, just like stories are made up of phrases and sentences. When children can recognize these patterns, music truly comes to life!

Every Musik at Home class immerses children in the language of music with imaginative, musical play! It’s so much fun, they don’t even realize how much they’re learning.

The most critical years for musical development are birth to age 10, with birth to 18 months being the most important of all. Next is 18 months to 3 years, then ages 3-5, ages 5-7, and 7-10.

I created Musik at Home because I believe every parent should be able to give this gift to their children. You can do my classes anytime, anywhere. I am so grateful Hilary found me here on Instagram and dove into my classes with her littles. 🎶🎉 They have such a bright, musical future ahead!

Hi, my name is Kathryn Brunner. I’m on a mission to help you and your child find your unique voice in music! 🎶

My passion is music education that cultivates the imagination and nurtures creativity. 🎵

The goal is to help you develop audiation skills so that you can freely express the music that’s inside of you. 🎵🫶🏻❤️

I’ve been teaching music for 24 years and love teaching even more now than I did when I started.

In the early 2000’s, I had so much enthusiasm and joy to pass on to my students! But, in the first few years, I noticed that my students often weren’t meeting me in my enthusiasm.

I realized that traditional methods were lacking. Their primary focus was on teaching students how to play through notation. This often became a drudgery that lacked the power to sustain and amplify a child’s deep, natural love for music.

I knew there had to be a better way.

In 2005, I found it!

I began diving into the most beautiful pathway for music learning that I had ever seen.

Dr. Edwin Gordon’s music learning theory showed me a sequential pathway to engage students’ hearts and minds….which was my passion from the start!

Carefully sequenced learning activities allow students to embrace new concepts developmentally the way their brains are wired to learn.

With my love for expressive musicianship, I founded Musik at Home to bring imaginative exploration to this beautiful, sequential pathway so that students can become literate, thinking, creative musicians.

I have had the joy of teaching thousands of students, including my own daughters. I am grateful to have a supportive, loving husband who cherishes my passion for music education and empowers me to thrive in serving you!
