Level Description

Kindermusik Foundations

The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.

Developmental Benefits

Movement Control
Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements.
Social Adaptability
Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way.
Listening and Communication Skills
Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills.
Language and Literacy Development
Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.

About Studio / Teacher

Anna Grindley

Anna grew up in New Zealand in a musical family, taking to the stage at the tender age of 6. She studied the piano as a child and went on to learn the viola. This took her to study a Bachelor of Music in Wellington, New Zealand. She now lives in Hornsby Heights with her husband Phil and children Sam, Mel and Lucy. She has a great passion for connecting with the people of her community. Becoming a mum sparked in her a desire to see young children grow to have a life-long love of music. "I love the opportunity to get to know each child as an individual and to help them grow and learn. I love seeing them engage with the music, and how they creatively respond in their own unique way to the sounds around them. Kids are inspiring." As well as this, Anna plays an active part in her community as a part of the Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic Orchestra, leading the music at her local church and giving instrument demonstrations at local preschools.
