Kids have Fun in Cyprus: Joanna’s Music Studio – where kids love and learn music

Hello everybody,

“Science has shown that when children learn how to play music, their brains begin to hear and process sounds that they couldn’t otherwise hear. This helps them develop “neurophysiological distinction” between certain sounds that can aid in literacy, which can translate into improved academic results for kids.” That is why we decided to introduce to our lovely readers “parents with children” a musical activity that will make the little ones smarter and happier. Why Joanna’s Music Studio? First of all because at Joanna’s, the music lessons start from as early as 6 months old! I know everybody will ask me how, so please be ready to read the entire story!

Joanna Kyprianidou graduated with a Performance Diploma from the Hellenic School of Music, has a Diploma in piano teaching from the Odium of Athens, the Grade 8 exams of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music and a Bachelor Degree in Music Studies from ARTE Music Academy. She decided to open the musical world for all the babies, toddlers and children in Cyprus no matter how young they are. This is the reason she also became a licensed Kindermusik educator.

Kindermusik is an international pre-school music education program that offers a fantastic new way to learn how to love music and also to make your first discoveries and, why not, to learn English language. Kindermusik helps develop critical early-learning skills, nurtures the whole child, and—last but not least—offers hours and hours of irresistibly engaging music-and-movement fun for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their parents!

In Kindermusik’s music-and-movement classes, children experience music of varying styles, genres and cultures. They interact with other children and engage in movement, rhythm, and vocal activities that develop far more than just music skills. Silly rhymes and catchy songs offer opportunities for vocal development, phonetic awareness, and vocabulary building. Through musical activities and interactions with their teacher and peers, children also develop conversation skills and the ability to speak rhythmically and expressively.

Kindermusik classes offer children numerous opportunities to develop early math proficiency. Joanna will make kids bounce, clap, spin, and hop. They will build core strength as they dance in a circle and skip around the room; they develop eye-hand coordination as they toss scarves in the air and catch them; and they stimulate their vestibular systems by rocking and swaying to relaxing music. Maybe it goes without saying, but Kindermusik with Joanna drives children’s musical development. Her activities are designed to develop vocal skills, foster music appreciation, and build a foundation for formal music instruction later on. In class Joanna will teach children to play all kinds of age-appropriate instruments and to appreciate music of varying styles and origin. They will learn to recognize and decode musical symbols, and they will be introduced to musical concepts and terms as they play and move the presto, largo, allegro, staccato, and legato to a variety of rhythms.

Joanna offers to the parents the most magical moments of interaction and playing with their children through the Kindermusik music program.

This is only the start for a life surrounded with music. For older children, Joanna will help them, to discover one of the most beautiful instruments: the Piano. Learning how to play the Piano is one of the best choices for children. Joanna is a wonderful teacher who succeeds to make each lesson interesting and appealing for all children. They will start to love her lessons and wait for the next one every week. Joanna also prepares children for the external examinations of the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music (ABRSM).

And guess what…. It’s not only for children but also for adults who are children at heart. Joanna offers piano and music theory lessons (in groups of in private) for anyone, regardless of age, who loves music and wants to start a creative hobby.

Parents will appreciate their children efforts and also they will be happy when they notice all the benefits their children will gain through learning how to play the piano. Higher grades in Maths and easier understanding of ratios and fractions, increased child’s self-esteem, increased hand-eye coordination, better concentration are just a few of the numerous benefits.

Joanna succeeds to make children love music and enjoy learning. She gives the start in a life surrounded by pleasure, feelings and emotions. Joanna opens a new magical world for everyone: sounds, happiness, fantastic instruments and the piano plus lots and lots of new friends. It is your time to try to learn music with Joanna in Nicosia!
