"Playing
with objects in Kindermusik
Village encourages a baby to make sounds and words
and helps her anticipate outcomes which are central
to conversational development and language acquisition.
Varying pitches between high and low in Kindermusik
class stimulates these first foundations for a baby
or young child's learning the variety of sounds
of language."
