 When developing Kindermusik's curriculum, the original creative team drew on the works of esteemed musicians and educators from Europe and Asia, including Shinichi Suzuki, Maria Montessori, Zoltán Kodály, Emile Jaques-Dalcroze and Carl Orff.Within a few years, Kindermusik programs had expanded into Canada, and, from there, around the world.More than 1 million families in at least 60 countries have attended Kindermusik classes in programs worldwide.
