What is Musikgarten?

We are pleased that you are considering music classes for your child. Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.  

Musikgarten is a curriculum designed to nurture the child’s music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement.  These activities  help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Instrumental activities are part of every class, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as rhythm sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children.

Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on an understanding of how children learn, both in a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.

As you familiarize yourself with our class offerings and learn more about Musikgarten, we look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into our music studio.
