Kindermusik is a music and movement program for children from birth to school age.  Not your typical music program--Kindermsuik is designed to enhance early childhood development through play, singing, dancing, listening, instrumental playing, and much more.  Kindermusik at Donna's Studio offers classes in English and en français.  Children with special needs are also invited to join at any age group. 

Donna Johnston-Martel is a mother of two beautiful boys, and a licensed Kindermusik educator.  Donna has taught arts education for several years at both the university and public schools level, and has earned her Maestro designation from Kindermusik headquarters.

Donna enjoys teaching children of all ages and loves watching them learn in their magical, marvellous world.  She is excited to offer a variety of classes at her Kindermusik studio in Southeast Regina (Village, Our Time, Imagine That, Young Child, and classes en français).
