ABOUT US

Whether you are looking for classes for your child/ren or interested in teaching music to children, Musikgarten is the answer. For more reasons why people around the world make Musikgarten their choice for early childhood education, contact us today.

We demonstrate the many benefits children gain by taking part in our music and movement program, encompassing musical, physical, emotional, social and cognitive growth. We show our teachers how to use the Musikgarten curricula to support the learning process.

At Musikgarten we include nature as part of our classroom. We believe in the benefits of teaching children to value and respect our natural environment. Even our products and packaging are environmentally conscious.

We believe that:

  • We believe that all children are musical
  • We believe that music meets the needs of children
  • We believe that music benefits the whole world
  • We believe that music must be introduced early and must involve the family
  • We believe that adults should observe and follow the child
  • We use only the quality resources

Why Musikgarten

  • We believe Musikgarten has no equal.
  • Our early childhood program is expertly planned, executed, and supported.
  • Our teachers enjoy their studios.
  • And our students, well, they just seem to love coming to Musikgarten.

Age-specific Curricula

Musikgarten offers instruction which is just right for each age level - from your baby who benefits greatly from being part of a live music environment, right up through school-age children who delight in our group piano classes.

Beginning simply with singing, moving, and exploring rhythm instruments, we add levels of complexity as the children grow, expanding the singing repertoire, teaching more complex dances, and building instrumental ensembles. Children coming through the Musikgarten program inherently "know" the music they eventually play in later years in group piano instruction.

Research

Music and movement can have a dramatic effect on babies, toddlers, and older children as well. Some studies indicate that early music instruction positively impacts language and literacy development; others point to improved pattern recognition skills which are the basis for mathematical learning; still others reveal the social and emotional benefits of being involved in music. Given our long-standing reputation as the leader in the field of affordable early music education, Musikgarten can give your child a learning advantage for life.

Expert Teachers

Musikgarten's expertly trained and well-supported teachers combine a love of music and an understanding of children and the way they learn into lessons that children and their families love using folk music and fun activities.

Experience

Our founders have been involved in early childhood music education since before it was recognized. Dr. Lorna Lutz Heyge has been developing early childhood music curricula for more than 30 years, while Audrey Sillick has been training early childhood educators for 40 years.

Eco-friendly

What's more, Musikgarten is eco-friendly. Embracing the natural world is part of the Musikgarten advantage. Musikgarten works very hard to keep packaging minimal, desiring to get the material into the students' hands, and to give them a place to keep all the pieces together. Some of our family packets - including instruments made of natural fibers - even come in cotton cloth bags. Not only is the packaging preferable in terms of aesthetics, it is durable, reusable, and not harmful to the environment in its production and disposal.

Fair Prices

All of our products and training are reasonably priced, making them accessible and affordable for everyone.
