Keiki Crescendo is offering classes for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners and piano instruction from age 6.We are pleased that you are considering music classes for your kid.
Research has indicated that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.
The Musikgarten classes provided at Keiki Crescendo are made to nurture the child's music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the classes, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children.
Musikgarten is the only program that provides curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.
As you familiarize yourself with our class offerings and learn more about Musikgarten, we look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into our music studio.

Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine. The Musikgarten classes offered at Keiki Crescendo are designed to nurture the child's music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed.
Music awakens and stimulates neural pathways in the brain that are associated with higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking, empathy, mathematics and science. Music's melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory. Remember singing the ABC song to learn your ABC's?
Musikgarten is the leader in early childhood music education - for children and teachers. We offer a complete multi-year educational program that helps infants, toddlers, and children develop a deep love of music and the ability to express it. We have wonderful CDs of the songs sung in class, age-appropriate instruments, and parent guidebooks.

Claudia's music classes have been the highlight of our week! My kid lights up with all the singing and dancing, and TBH, I have a ball too! Claudia is so loving and passionate, she brings so much joy and color to her classes. It was a great space for my kid to learn about things like making friends, taking turns, coordination, counting, and being creative, and for the 2 of us to have some fun bonding time outside of home. Highly recommend!

Both my kiddos really enjoy their music class! They will also sing the songs at home or in car rides. The teacher Claudia is caring and love the kids she teaches. Every class is well planned and the children get to explore different kind of music instruments. I will definitely recommend Keiki Crescendo!

I have a 2 year old boy that I wanted to find activities for us to do together. We have tried both kids music classes in the Kailua area, and will definitely be returning customer's of Keiki Crescendo. Miss Claudia clearly does put so much time, effort and thought into each class session. She uses a variety of props and instruments that keeps my toddler interested and engaged.
She does have a way with children; she is engaging and patient and makes a genuine "connection" with each of them, even as she is teaching and guiding them! My son loves her and is so excited for each class! I especially love how many of the activities involve the children using their imagination with movement and music; many I find my toddler memorizing and repeating outside of class! For me, it is worth moving my schedule around so that my son can attend Miss Claudia's class. I also HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
