about us
Nurturing Our Children’s Love of Music and Learning
Why Musikgarten?
We believe Musikgarten has no equal.
Our early childhood program is expertly planned, executed, and supported.
Our teachers love what they do!
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 as adults!). 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.
Develop and learn through fun and creativity
Fantastic 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
MusikGarten's 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.
