LEARNING German THROUGH Music

with Frau Claudia Lorenz

Take a music bath once or twice a week for a few seasons.  You will find it is to the soul what a water bath is to the body.  

~Oliver Wendell Holmes


The German music program aligns with the International Baccalaureate Primary Years Program Standards IB-PYP and is intended to enhance and reinforce the German language immersion and cultural experience.



Why a German Music Program? 

It has been observed that children learn language, and particular foreign languages, more quickly in an environment with playful and stimulating interactions. The positive aspects of music, songs, and movement are conducive when the interaction involves children in a non-threatening and seemingly non-challenging atmosphere.

My goal is to create a learning environment that is at the same time playful, interactive, and welcoming. 

I will also use the music time to introduce elements of the German culture which will help the children appreciate the heritage of the language to which they are being introduced.
