About Music n Kids

Music N Kids inc. presents Kids Go Mandarin program which is a Mandarin learning program for young children. We have exclusively designed multi-sensory creative teaching for kids and learn Mandarin through the music while providing Visual, Aural, and Kinesthetic learning.

In KGM program, we incorporate Orff Schulwerk and Kodály method. Children learn through sing, dance, movement, and play. We provided “Experiential Learning” for children, and increase their enthusiasm for learning Mandarin and basic music component at the same time.

Music is critical in early childhood development. KGM's music comes from folk song all over the world.  In studying Chinese music, children will grow with a stronger sense of cultural heritage and identity.
