What is required to take the training?

· An email address and access to the Internet are required, since the course is completed online.

· While a music degree is not required; you must pass a vocal review that involves the memorization and singing of several prescribed songs unaccompanied and in a range appropriate for young children. The goal of the vocal review is to ensure that each candidate at least has the potential to lead a class in song. If there are weak areas in the singing voice, the mentor will instruct on how to build upon and correct these areas.

How does training work?

· Training begins approximately two weeks from date of purchase.

· You will be assigned a mentor, who is a master Kindermusik educator, and placed into a Learning Group of 15 – 25 students, often from all over the world!

· While the course is structured, you still work “on your own time” – the time most convenient to you – to complete at least one lesson each week.

· The course is split into the following three phases of support:

· You’ll be licensed to teach within the first eight to ten weeks of training provided all required assignments have been completed. During these weeks you will focus on learning the Kindermusik philosophy, understanding the child at different stages of development up to age 7, setting goals for incorporating Kindermusik in your life, learning to teach at least 3 Kindermusik curricula (you choose what you wish to begin teaching), and applying for a license;

· If you will be teaching on your own and/or starting a studio, you can choose to take part in our business course, Business Basics, at no extra charge. Business Basics will give you the information and guidelines you need to start your own small business.

· Support from Kindermusik continues through the Teacher’s Lounge at www.kindermusik.com where you can share and learn from hundreds of Kindermusik educators as you teach!

· Fundamentals requires an average of 3-4 hours per week to complete the coursework. The amount of time you spend will vary based on your individual needs and how easily you absorb the content of the course.

· You will have several opportunities to interact “live” with your mentor and classmates via teleconference and online chat sessions.

You will have opportunities for practice teaching and where possible, you are encouraged to connect with local Kindermusik educators for support and guidance.
