Semester 2 of Kindermusik for the Young Child provides a pressure-free approach to learning, but concrete enough because his mind is ready for the more abstract thinking processes that music requires. Play remains the primary way a young child learns, so throughout the curriculum there is a consistent effort to balance active learning with the emotional reasoning aspects of a young child's development in mind

At Home Materials include: Children's Folder, Music At Home cards & stickers Games Bag, Family Songbook, Home CD, and Carry Bag. Instruments can include glockenspiel w/mallets.
