Local Educator is a Maestro of Early Childhood Education

Shawna Gordon has been named a Maestro to the Mezzanine level of studios and also as a Maestro in Outreach by Kindermusik International for the third year in a row, the world's leading publisher of music and movement programs.

Gordon is the owner and an early childhood specialist at the Kindermusik of Lincoln studio. Gordon teaches Kindermusik in both Kindermusik of Lincoln studios (Christ's Place Church and East Lincoln Christian Church). The Maestro Mezzanine award recognizes that Shawna has achieved excellence in both Maestros in Outreach, teaching Kindermusik to children with special needs and as a Maestro Producer, ranking in the top 5% of Kindermusik programs worldwide in reaching the most children.

"The Kindermusik Maestro has a mission: helping children become better learners and helping parents understand how to help them reach their highest potential," said Michael Dougherty, CEO at Kindermusik International.

Shawna is one of 5,000 licensed educators in the world who use Kindermusik's music and movement curricula. Shawna Gordon began providing Kindermusik in 1999. Today, Shawna teaches the music and movement learning program to 120 plus families from Lincoln and surrounding communities.

Shawna has added an additional studio and met the needs of her families by increasing the amount of classes offered. Her outreach includes a percentage of her studio offered in scholarships, leading an Excite class of preschoolers once a week and a commitment to work with Sudanese immigrant children as their parents learn to read and speak English through the Lincoln Literacy Council.

"I am passionate about what music can offer children in terms of an additional means of learning language, reading, the social interaction our classes offer and an environment that parents and children can play and learn together! The recognition from Kindermusik International affirms the pursuit of my dream!" said Gordon.

The Maestro Program recognizes licensed Kindermusik educators who master one of three levels in early childhood development: fast-growing programs, outstanding community service, or teaching excellence.

Existing Families Early Enrollment & Incentives


Early enrollment has begun for existing Kindermusik of Lincoln families. Starting now through December 13th, for each $60 deposit received to hold your Spring spot in classes, you can choose a CD or other early incentives. Deep discount is available to families who pay in full (tuition and materials) on or before December 13th. You will receive the early incentive gift and $5 off the total cost. Reminder that we do offer substantial sibling discounts and referral discounts.

A Payment Plan Option is available, with the following requirements. A $60 deposit per child will still be required to hold your spot in class. If you need a Payment Plan Option, this must be communicated prior to the first day of Spring classes. Payment Plan Option is a full semester committment and Payment Plan Option is merely meant to be a helpful budgetary way to make Kindermusik possible under these stressful economic times. It it not meant to be a way to choose a smaller or shortened time commitment. Our liberal stated missed class and make-up policies will remain the same. Abuse of this Option will cause it to be removed immediately at the discretion of the Director.
* Payment Plan Option must be paid via debit/credit card only. Debit/credit card information must be provided at time of registration. Three equal payments will be processed on the following days: February 1st, March 1st, and April 1st.
*An additional $10 fee will be assessed for any failed monthly transaction.

As a final note, this early registration period is open only to existing families, however, after the 13th, registration options go public via the web-site and all new families will have equal opportunity at any open spots in remaining classes. We love your referrals, so please continue to spread the word. Have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving!
