Baumhaus for the Big Kids
Building a Strong Foundation for Musical Success for Young Learners Ages 3 to 5 years old
At Baumhaus, we believe that every child has a unique musical journey ahead of them. While the Kindermusik curriculum provides a proven pedagogical foundation for children up to age 7, our Big Kids Program goes a step further. Our teachers have thoughtfully infused their own curriculum and hands-on experience in Vocal Development, Music and Theatre Arts to create a truly enriched learning experience.
Why Join the Big Kids’ Program?
Setting Your Child Up for Musical Success
Whether your child dreams of singing on stage, picking up an instrument, or exploring creative performance, our Big Kids Program is designed to give them the tools they need to succeed. Backed by the trusted Kindermusik framework, our classes help children build essential skills — including audiation (the ability to hear and understand music internally), expressive storytelling, and the vocal and physical techniques required for confident performance.
We also nurture the creative thinking process, empowering children to interpret and bring performing arts pieces to life in their own meaningful way.
Your child will benefit:
Through play - Experience music learning in a fun, child-centred and play-based way Baumhaus is well-known for.
Through performing - Live performance experience from our partner musicians and performance opportunities for your children
Through trusted teachers - your child will learn from Baumhaus’ trusted music teachers and childhood educators, and get the best of both technical and musicianship skills needed for them to thrive in formal music and performing arts training.

Skills We Nurture
-
Breath work, vocal support, projection, and articulation — setting the stage for healthy, confident singing.
-
Development of fine and gross motor skills, plus physical coordination needed for formal instrument play. Children are also introduced to elementary notation, building early music literacy.
-
A focus on literacy, clear articulation, and creative thinking — helping your child express themselves with confidence and imagination.
-
Children learn to listen, collaborate, and create music together as a group. Through ensemble activities, they develop turn-taking, active listening, teamwork, and the joy of making music with others — building essential social skills alongside musical ones.
-
The ability to hear and understand music internally — even when no sound is present. This foundational skill strengthens musical memory, pitch recognition, and the ability to "think" music before singing or playing it.
-
Connecting body movement to musical rhythm through clapping, stepping, dancing, and expressive motion. This builds a strong internal sense of pulse and prepares children for advanced rhythmic understanding.
-
Encouraging children to make their own musical choices — whether through vocal improv, rhythmic patterns, or simple melodic ideas. This fosters confidence, spontaneity, and a personal connection to music.
-
Training young ears to identify musical elements such as dynamics (loud/soft), tempo (fast/slow), timbre (tone color), and mood — building critical listening skills that support all future musical study.
-
Creating a safe, encouraging space where every child feels seen and heard. Through guided performance opportunities and creative play, children learn to trust their own voice and express their unique artistic personality.
What happens after my child finishes all the classes at Baumhaus?
Completing our full program is a wonderful achievement, and it means your child has built a strong foundation in music, rhythm, and creativity.
At Baumhaus, we don’t just say goodbye. We make sure your child is fully prepared for the next, more challenging musical adventure — and that you have a clear, confident path forward.
Once your child finishes a Level 4 class, one of our teachers will conduct a thoughtful assessment based on three things:
What they’ve learned so far
Their unique strengths
Their musical interests and personality
This assessment helps you and your child decide on the best next focus — whether that’s an instrument, voice lessons, or theatre arts.
Trusted partners who share our philosophy
We’ve carefully chosen a network of trusted partner teachers and programs who align with Baumhaus’s philosophy: nurturing, joyful, and child-centered. These partners will carry forward your child’s learning with the same care and attention they’ve always received.
You can rest assured that your child’s musical journey — and their success — will be in great hands every step of the way.
