Step-by-StepAtHomeAccess

This is an update As of August 1st 2022

Kindermusik streaming will now be linked to current enrollments. There will be “best of albums” allotted for past enrollments and physical materials are still available.

Please let me know if you find any changes/differences from this explanation as I update. See more info below…

An important part of the #kindermusikprocess is using Kindermusik materials and techniques outside of class- AtHome. In class we practice doing activities that you can do at home. KI & my studio also have tools to help inspire and facilitate you at home.

Below are the different tools and how to access them...

1: first- creating an account & password

2: accessing account info, and what’s in your account

3: AtHome digital (Computer, tablet, phone) library & tools (Kindermusik’s library of music & books, & more ).

5: Kindermusik App- it’s functions and how to link it to your account. Also the added app tools of video library, age specific activities, and digital instruments

6: AtHome info through handouts OR emails AND Physical books, instruments from KI

7. Other physical materials: studio provided arts&crafts AND a library with CDs, activity sets, books, more- (donations needed/accepted).

8: download card (good until Dec31 2022)
