Text Box: Why Musikgarten? The Plan – Only Musikgarten offers a comprehensive, sequential plan for the musical development of your child from birth to age 9. Each of our six courses stands on its own and fits the developmental needs of the child. Class time is educational, fun and purposeful.

The Teachers – Your Musikgarten teacher is a highly trained professional with classroom and field experience in early childhood music education and child development.

The Curriculum – Musikgarten’s programs are based on meeting the developmental needs of children as they grow. Favorite songs, stories,
and dances are revisited throughout – building on what each child has mastered and enjoyed – making successful learning easier.

Family Involvement - You will receive CDs, family activity guides and instruments to continue the bonding and fun of music with your child at home.

Welcome and Congratulations!

By considering music education for your child at an early age, you have taken a first step toward bonding musically with your child and enriching your family life with active music-making.

Children are naturally drawn to music, which will make your time with them in Musikgarten both fun and beneficial.

Text Box: Family Music for Babies (ages newborn - 18 months) Play musically with your baby through bouncing and rocking songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, dancing, moving, and singing. Music play activities are designed to increase your child’s curiosity about music, to develop listening skills and a sense of beat, and to establish the foundation for singing and musical thought.

Text Box: Family Music for Toddlers (ages 18 months - 3 1/2 years) Participate with your toddler in singing, chanting, moving, dancing, listening, and playing simple instruments — while developing a strong musical bond with your child. Through activities that bridge the natural connection between music and movement, your child’s musical aptitude and listening abilities are enhanced and further developed.

Text Box: Cycle of Seasons (ages 3 - 5) Celebrate your child’s love of nature and growing independence through activities which focus on the seasons of the year. Classes are designed to build attention and self-expression and include singing, chanting, moving, focused listening, musical games, exploring musical instruments, creative movement, and storytelling.

Text Box: Music Makers (ages 4 - 8) Your child is now ready for this sequential two-year music program. Music Makers includes singing, creative and structured movement, playing instruments and ensemble work, ear training and guided listening, as well as a developmentally sound approach to music literacy that builds symbolic thinking, concentration, memory, and self-expression.
