TOS CREW Review: Kinderbach

I teach private Piano Lessons...as well as other Music Classes... so I was very interested to see what Kinderbach was all about....and so excited when I received it to review...

Kinderbach is a creative and inexpensive way to expose your child to piano and learning musical skills, recommended for ages 3-7. It uses fun characters to teach note reading, rhythm, signing, and composition. Good for either in the home or in the classroom... You absolutely do not need a Piano to do these lessons...a Keyboard is perfect!

According to Kinderbach’s websiteThe best time to learn a language or to begin playing a musical instrument is 3 - 6 years of age.”

Some of K4 listening to different tones and reaching "high", "middle" and "low"....
Many of the lessons include a printable page to reinforce the lesson.... or as an interactive part of the lesson...
imageThe girls were captivated by the videos and enjoyed working along with them...
A nice aspect of the video/ printout session is that they are self correcting....
One thing that I would change to the program is the length of some of the sessions.... a few of them tended to run a little long and we ended up fast forwarding through them.... as the girls lost interest...

KinderBach offers many different purchasing options:
  • Year Membership - $95.88 one-time payment for the year (equivalent to $7.99 a month)
  • Monthly Membership - $19.99 billed monthly
  • Day Pass - $5.95 to try the program for a single day
  • DVDs - See website for various options
As a piano and music teacher, I obviously feel that Private Lessons are superior...however, if you are unable to afford individual lessons or do not have time to schedule them... KinderBach is a great way for your child to learn!!
