Kindermusik®
Sing. Move. Bond. Grow.
Our Music & Play Studio is a licensed Kindermusik® studio in St. George, Utah offering family music classes for children and their parent or caregiver. The research-based curricula and interactive music experiences establish a foundation of early learning that supports sustained growth, confidence, and creativity throughout the life of a child. As a result, Kindermusik helps children acquire new vocabulary, improve memory and ability to learn new information, practice working with other children in a group, and much more.
In every Kindermusik class, your child is welcomed into a playful and nurturing environment where they will sing, move, play instruments, and hear stories—all while developing social skills, problem-solving skills, pre-math skills, and a foundation for reading.
Above all, the research-based curriculum focuses on whole-child development and helps you understand how your child is developing musically, cognitively, and socially.

Classes are held at the Root for Kids studio in St. George, UT
Foundations (from birth to age 1)
Our Foundations (from birth to age 1) classes offer a sensory-rich yet caring and gentle environment where infants and young toddlers can explore and react to new sounds, sensations, objects, and movements.
Level 1 - Sing and Play (from age 1 to age 2)
Our Level 1 (from age 1 to age 2) classes provide toddlers with a stimulating setting to explore their new movement and language skills with a sense of security, comfort, and confidence.
Level 2 - Wiggle and Grow (from age 2 to age 3)
Our Level 2 (from age 2 to age 3) classes encourage older toddlers to initiate their own ideas, nurturing social-emotional growth and cognitive development in a playful, exploratory environment.
Level 3 (from age 3 to age 5)
Our Level 3 (from age 3 to age 5) classes engage preschoolers’ natural love of music and activate their imaginations. A wide range of learning opportunities boosts language skills, confidence, independence, social-emotional skills, and self-control.
Kindermusik Musicians
Our Kindermusik Musicians (from age 3 to age 7) classes introduce music notation, new and complex instruments, and different genres of music. Children participate in ensembles while improving their problem-solving and pre-literacy skills.
