KIMET
KIMET is a space created to help in the natural process of the development of your baby and/or child, where parents, grandparents, relatives or caregivers who have direct contact during the growth of the child will learn how through music and in a timely manner stimulate areas of integral development.
"My baby started Kimet around 6 months of age. It’s been a couple of months now and I really see him enjoying and even looking forward to the class activities. Each class has a well thought out theme and Karen is so sweet and wonderful with the babies. It’s a great way to socialize babies while teaching them music and activities in Spanish"
- Erica, mom and realtor.
WHY THROUGH MUSIC?
Music is the noblest of the arts and before birth every human being is unconsciously linked to it, since the beginning of humanity. Rhythms have always been a fundamental part of the roots of all cultures and traditions around the world.
Music, as well as the heart, have a pulse which subconsciously connects with that of our heart either accelerating or relaxing our entire system, makes us feel emotions, makes us move, hum or sing, interact with other individuals and is orderly and mathematic, both, systematic and so free that allows you to express all emotions, helping to create neural communications that serve us in each of the 6 areas of development.
By creating a combination of pedagogical-psychological and musical knowledge, the result is a beautiful experience of early stimulation for every human being.
How to teach with KIMET
If you are passionate about teaching and music and you are a therapist or teacher, these classes are for you.
Use the neurological benefits that music provides in your classroom, daycare or therapy sessions. You as a teacher therapist or childcare provider can have tools to facilitate your work.
Over the years, psychology, pedagogy and neuroscience have investigated and proven the benefits that music has on the brain. Not only to facilitate the use of each of the brain areas, whether psychomotor, language, emotions, or cognitive, but also as an efficient means to facilitate the combination of all the areas and neuronal connections and thus observe better results in our work with children. It also allows parents to enjoy and socialize, creating a network of support, mutual accompaniment, and empathy.

Karen began her baby and early childhood classes teaching Early Musical Stimulation and Musical Initiation 21 years ago and studied psychology with a psycho-analytic focus, in Mexico City.Prior to finishing her degree, she focused her studies on child psychology, pedagogy and psychoanalysis at the Emmanuel Kant University Center and CIEL (Research Center and Lacanian Studies). Subsequently she took courses to teach Musical Pedagogy, at the Artene Institute, being Assistant Teacher in Early Musical Stimulation Groups, as well as courses for educators of the Tort Method, taught by the creator of the Method, Mr. César Tort, who taught the courses and personally supervised Ms Karen's groups.Karen also studied educator courses for 8 consecutive years at Artene Institute and the National School of Music, such as Musical Education and Dalcroze, Musical Theory, Singing and Piano among others, becoming a teacher of Early Musical Stimulation and Musical Initiation for 7 years, working with children with and without Special Needs. She also worked as a teacher as well as an assistant guide at Montessori Tepepan and Montessori Peña Pobre, Mexico City.
She started Music Stimulation classes for babies in "Sala Chopin" and later created Summer courses and theme parties for babies with a Musical Pedagogic approach, and private lessons.

That same year she taught classes to educators of Early Music Stimulation and Music Initiation and/or preschool, at the Artene Institute in Mexico.
