The Kindermusik curriculum is designed to apply musical and developmental learning in a multi-age, multi-child, family environment. Besides the weekly classroom experience, each family will receive a take-home kit which features two children’s books, two instruments, two CDs of songs and activities from class, one family activity book, as well as two puppets that are featured characters in the class.

TFAC’s Kindermusik programs are made possible by grants from local civic organizations. Kits for the Saturday family Kindermusik programs at Tryon Fine Arts Center are sponsored by the Rotary Club of Tryon Foundation. Kiwanis Club of Tryon has given substantial funding towards a new outreach program, which provides instruction in Kindermusik for all Polk County pre-school students.

Tryon Fine Arts Center, located on Melrose Avenue in the town of Tryon, has been a center for participation in the visual and performing arts for more than 43 years attracting a diverse range of audiences.
