Kindermusik@Home Materials

As the world’s leader in music education programs for young children, we share a commitment to follow, participate in, and integrate the newest research on how children learn best, which also means including the latest technology in fun, age-appropriate, and family-friendly ways. To help support the growing importance of technology fluency, we are proud to include Kindermusik @Home Materials with your enrollment. These online learning materials truly embody the very best of both worlds—a responsible introduction to technology AND lots of hands-on, movement-rich, in-your-lap, down-on-the-floor learning. This philosophy aligns with the recommendations for screen time set forth by the NAEYC and the Fred Rogers Center for Early Learning. Once you’ve registered your account, you can log in at my.kindermusik.com, where you can access your Kindermusik @Home Materials with all of your favorite Kindermusik songs and activities, music, eBooks, and lyrics any time from your smart phone, iPad, tablet, laptop, or computer. With recipes, learning games for kids, crafts, and more in a green-friendly digital format, we make it easy for parents and caregivers to actively support their children’s learning on-the-go—from the living room to the grocery store to the doctor’s office! Plus, with each new learning theme, Kindermusik adds new content and new music to your family’s growing collection!

Un-Zip and Burn – Here’s how:

  • Click on album link to download.
  • Open the download.
  • Click to Extract or Unzip the file.  (The word EXTRACT or UNZIP may appear toward the top of your screen or may be accessed by a right click.) Most computers come with software to extract files and will know exactly what to do. If your computer does not, you will need to download this free software, 7zip.  Follow the directions on the site. It’s easy.
  • When you click to extract or unzip the album, it will ask you where you want to save it. I usually choose to put it in Libraries/Music. I have folders for each curriculum and under that, folders for each unit. Example: Libraries/Music/KMLaugh&Learn/Carnival of Music
  • To be able to easily transfer my music to my phone, iPad, iPod, or to burn a CD, I copy the audio files into iTunes. It is free to download and easy to use. Just drag or copy/paste the audio files into your music library on iTunes.
  • Create a playlist in iTunes.  Click on File (top left corner), select New Playlist. It will create a place for you to give your playlist a name, such as the name of the album.
  • Drag the new tracks from the music library into your playlist.
  • To burn a CD, click on the same file tab (top left corner), and select Burn playlist to disc.
