Teacher Fil
Filbert’s love for music first became apparent early in childhood as he incessantly sang line after line from TV commercial jingles. He thankfully moved on to Broadway and other popular pieces as his eyes (and ears) were opened to the infinitely magical world of music. He has been blessed with opportunities to take part in various productions because of his involvement in theater. After joining many choirs over the years, Fil eventually got tired of joining other groups so, together with some friends, he finally decided to form a choral group of which he is currently the president. Aside from this singing group, Fil is actively involved in his church’s music ministry as well as the children’s ministry while occasionally hosting and singing at different events. Teacher Fil brings his gift of teaching and love for music into Kindermusik as a licensed educator. Join him as he brings you and your child hours of fun through the best music and movement program today.

Kindermusik Educator Statement of Belief and Commitment
As licensed Kindermusik educators, We believe that music has the power to illuminate and enhance lives, to foster a sense of community and to tap the unique gifts that each child offers to the world. And We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to know, enjoy and grow with music.
We are proud of our capabilities to make the world around us a richer place by sharing our love and understanding of music, and we dedicate our abilities as educators to bringing music into the lives of children in a positive, supportive and encouraging way. We recognize that music for children is not about perfection but about possibilities.
In our work as Kindermusik educators, we are committed to supporting all of our Kindermusik colleagues, those in our local community and around the world. We understand that today only one child in 400 enjoys the benefits of Kindermusik, and we recognize and support the right of every licensed Kindermusik educator to reach as many children with music as possible. We will foster a spirit of mutual encouragement and boundless opportunity among our colleagues and will always let the best interests of the child guide our actions and decisions.
We will uphold the values and purpose of the Kindermusik curricula in our teaching. We will honor and abide by the policies that predicate our privileges as Kindermusik educators, and we announce our intolerance for those who abuse this trust and dishonor the integrity of the Kindermusik mission.
We understand that Kindermusik curricula provide the structure necessary to shape a rich pedagogical and musical experience but also empower us to respond with flexibility and sensitivity in our classroom to honor the unique needs and individuality of every child.
We believe in the quality of Kindermusik music education materials and share the belief that these materials are necessary for the child's optimal learning. Every child who experiences Kindermusik through our program will enjoy the benefits of his or her own home materials.
And finally, at the heart of our work as Kindermusik educators, we will demonstrate the Kindermusik conviction that the parent is a child's most important teacher, and the home is the most important place for a child's learning to take root and grow. We will guide families in bringing music into their children's lives believing that every child is gifted and every child is musical.
