More music, more learning, more fun. With every new 4-lesson theme, you’ll receive a full downloadable album of your favourite Kindermusik songs, an interactive e-Book, and delightfully engaging learning activities including crafts, recipes, video field trips, games, and more. And with each activity, you’ll learn how and why that activity enhances your child’s learning, development, and love of music.

Easy and convenient too!  With our new ongoing enrollment, you stay enrolled until you tell us you need to take a break.  The new curricula also offers the flexibility of moving your child up to the next class level at any time – when they (or you!) are most ready.

All that you love and so much you’ll come to love… the favorite, the familiar, and the new come together to take your Kindermusik experience at InJoy Music  to a whole new level. If you’ve never been before, you’re in for a real treat!

Keys 4/4 Kids

Posted on

“Mom, I want to take piano lessons!” Wonderful! We have just the place for your child to begin his/her piano journey. We have excellent teachers and a great curriculum. All you need is a piano. Oh. You need a piano. The prospect of purchasing a piano can be daunting and sometimes cost prohibitive.

Recently, Miss Amy learned about a nonprofit called Keys 4/4 Kids. The executive director, Newell Hill, contacted her to let her know about their program. If you are in the market for a piano, you might want to check them out. They also restore and sell donated pianos.

According to Newll, “Keys 4/4 Kids is a charity that accepts, restores and sells donated pianos for charity. We have a warehouse location in the West Bottoms and are based out of St. Paul, Minnesota. Profits from piano sales support four local programs related to our mission to inspire young people to believe in themselves through the arts and mentorship.”

They have over one-hundred pianos in our West Bottoms warehouse, and most pianos cost under $1,000. They provide one-year warranties with our pianos and also provide moving services. They are open every Saturday from 10-4PM. The address is: 1308 W 11th St, Kansas City MO. You can learn more  at: www.keys44kids.org.

Sensory Friendly Concert

Posted on

Music is for everyone, but sometimes all the different noises, the chairs that open and close/open and close, the dress up clothing that is scratchy and feels different… it can be too much for children who have sensory sensitivity. Sensory processing issues are common in children with Autism and other developmental disorders. April is Autism Awareness and Acceptance Month and to celebrate, there will be a special concert tailored to children with sensory issues.  What a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to enjoy a live music experience.

Sigma Alpha Iota (a women’s music fraternity) and Kansas City Metro Music Therapists are joining together to provide a high-quality music program for folks that might not be able to enjoy typical concert venues, including those on the autism spectrum. The Sensory Friendly Concert movement embraces neuro-diversity in that we welcome any non-harmful responses to music (hand-flapping allowed!) and provide accommodations for those who have varying sensory needs.
