Musikgarten
Musikgarten is a music literacy program for children. Our classes foster a love of music in a family context that forms a lifetime appreciation for music. We respond to the flow, meter, and texture of music with movement and singing, and enrich those experiences with instruments. The class context fosters social development and self confidence. Musikgarten has a core group of songs that move with the children as they progress from one class level to the next, from birth through age 9.
By the time the children reach the keyboard class they they are extremely familiar with many of the songs they will soon be playing by ear in the keyboard class. If they have the song in their head, they can play it by ear on the piano. As Maria Montessori stated, "the child now has a self correcting instrument" and your child will know if he is playing it correctly.
