During my recent three-year position teaching violin in Bermuda, I became a Kindermusik Educator and fell in love with Kindermusik’s music and movement program. The warm relationship that develops with the mothers and the babies is a wonderful thing. And knowing that the training that the babies are absorbing at such an early age is going to be enormously helpful in school and when they decide to begin studying a musical instrument.
Since September, 2006, I have been working on setting up the solid curriculum of Kindermusik in Israel. I am convinced that the natural rhythms of English will find a niche among the families in the Tel Aviv area. There are those of you who speak English in your homes; there are those of you who have spent some years in an English-speaking country and don’t want your children to lose that wonderful start in a foreign language; and there are those of you who simply want to give your child a rich environment and a head start by developing his ear for music and languages.
KINDERMUSIK IS FOR YOU
BIOGRAPHY
SUSAN MOINESTER (MMEd.)
My music education includes: a Master’s degree in Music Education from the Eastman School of Music (Rochester, New York); extensive studies of the Suzuki Method with Dr. Shinichi Suzuki both at Eastman and in Japan; the entire Suzuki training program of the Suzuki Association of the Americas which resulted in my becoming a Teacher Trainer; and the training program of Kindermusik International.
I have taught violin to children 3-16 years old to all levels of the Suzuki Method repertoire, in programs based on a combination of private and group lessons. And I have taught in workshops in Israel, Sweden, and the USA. Over the years, I have enjoyed playing in informal chamber music groups either as violinist or violist. And I have recently joined the Inter-Generational Symphony Orchestra that rehearses in Ramat Aviv.
