At Piano Central Studios, we believe music is more than just notes and rhythms. We know firsthand that it’s a way to nurture connection, spark imagination, and fill everyday moments with joy. As summer unfolds, it’s the perfect time to explore how music can strengthen the special bond between you and your baby.
If you’re part of our Kindermusik family, you already know the magic that happens each week in class. But that magic doesn’t have to stop when class ends. The songs, activities, and rituals you experience together at PCS can spill over into your summer days, turning ordinary moments into memory-making adventures.
Here are five sunny, simple, and heartwarming ways to keep the music going all summer long.
1. Sing Your Class Favorites Throughout the Day
One of the beautiful things about Kindermusik is how easy it is to weave what we do in class into your daily routine. Those familiar Hello and Goodbye songs? They’re wonderful cues for helping your baby transition into new activities. And upbeat movement songs from class can quickly lift everyone’s spirits when the post-nap grumpies hit.
Whether you’re singing “Old MacDonald” while slicing vegetables or humming “Twinkle, Twinkle” during diaper changes, you’re giving your baby comfort and connection through your voice. The repetition and melodies from Kindermusik class help reinforce early language development, and your baby loves hearing them again and again!

2. Make the Backyard Your Summer Stage
Take advantage of the warm weather by moving music time outside. Lay down a blanket under a shady tree, bring out some favorite baby-safe instruments, and have your very own mini music class in the backyard.
Even without music playing your baby will be fascinated by all the new sights and sounds outside, like birds chirping, wind in the leaves or even the rhythmic plink of water from a sprinkler. You can even make your own rhythms using sticks, leaves, and pebbles.
In our Kindermusik Foundations and Level 1 classes, we focus a lot on sensory experiences, and nature provides the perfect backdrop for doing the same outside of class. Music outdoors helps engage your baby’s body and brain in new ways, and you’ll both love the freedom and fresh air.
3. Use the Free Kindermusik App to Stay Connected
Even when you’re on the go this summer, you can take your Kindermusik experience with you thanks to the free Kindermusik app. With hundreds of songs, stories, and activities from our curriculum, the app is a fantastic tool for keeping the music going, even on vacation or during a trip to Grandma’s.
We recommend creating a special “Summer Favorites” playlist with songs from your baby’s current class. That way, whether you’re in the car, lounging by the pool, or winding down for naptime, you’ve got the sounds of Kindermusik right at your fingertips.
And don’t forget that the music you hear over and over builds strong neural pathways for your baby. That’s one reason why we repeat songs in class week to week, and it’s a great reason to listen at home too.
4. Splash and Sing in the Water
Summer and water go hand in hand, and you can easily turn water play into a joyful musical experience. Whether you’re in the tub, at the splash pad, or dipping toes in a baby pool, bring along your favorite Kindermusik water songs.
From “Splish, Splash” to the gently rocking rhythm of “Row, Row, Row Your Boat,” singing during water play brings structure, rhythm, and plenty of smiles. You might even try some of the rocking and bouncing motions we practice in class while your baby floats in your arms.
You’ll be amazed how the songs and rituals we use in Kindermusik classes help your baby feel calm, safe, and engaged even in new environments.
