What age should babies start kindermusik classes?

I was looking into the kindermusik village classes which is meant to be for babies for newborn up, but it sounds a bit strange to me to take a newborn baby to music classes. I was thinking that around 5 months would probably be the earliest time a baby would benefit from these classes. Have any of your children attended a kindermusik village class? What age do you think it was best tailored too?

1. I've never heard of it, but I tend to agree with you that a newborn wouldn't really benefit much from it. About 5 or 6 months seems good because that's when babies really start interacting with their environment.

2. Music is good for them to hear at any age. However, I waited until at least my daughter could sit up on her own before taking her to music class. That way she could sit up and see everything that was going on and bang on some instruments. I have been taking her to music for a long time now and the youngest babies I see (not including newborns that come because they have an older sibling in class) are about 6 month olds.

3. I would contact the local teacher and ask for how her classes are geared for those under 18 months. Personally, I probably wouldn't consider it before 5 or 6 months, but it's up to you. It encourages parental involvement, so the child would still be getting value from it. Another question is how much music you play at home? I play a lot of classical and bebop sort of stuff already, so I don't see how it would benefit the child. If you never play music at home, then you should. :)
