Musical Steps Earns Top Honors Again!
Yes, We’re Bragging (Just a Little!)
We’re thrilled to share exciting news —Musical Steps has once again been named a Kindermusik Top Program! 🏆 But what does that mean?
It all started in Germany, when Dan Pratt stumbled upon a program that revolutionized the way young children learn music. Inspired by this innovative approach, he made it his mission to bring this life-changing experience to families everywhere. In 1978, the first Kindermusik classes were born.
For over 40 years, Kindermusik has touched the lives of more than 2 million families in over 70 countries, thanks to the dedication of 5,000+ educators. Our beloved books, streaming music, and instruments aren’t just fun—they’re built on decades of research in child development, nurturing every aspect of a child’s growth: cognitive, physical, social, emotional, language, and musical.
But it’s not just the curriculum that makes Kindermusik special—it’s the educators. Becoming a Kindermusik teacher is no small feat. It requires weeks of intensive training, hands-on practice, and ongoing professional development. Our educators are passionate advocates for early child development and igniting the brain through music!
Now, here’s where we get to brag a little. The Kindermusik Top Program award recognizes studios that go above and beyond to bring this incredible program to as many families as possible. 🎉
So, yes—we’re pretty proud of this award. It’s a testament to our commitment to providing an enriching, playful, and inviting space for every child. If you haven’t had the chance to experience one of our classes, now’s the perfect time. Come join the fun and see why we’re so passionate about what we do.
