Musikgarten — fall Semester

Begin life with music! This well-respected curriculum is accepted worldwide and offers a joyful and exciting educational environment for you and your child, four months to six years of age. Specialists agree that music plays an important role in children’s emotional, intellectual, and social development. The Musikgarten® program offers a thoughtful sequence of classes that builds skills through the rhythm of speech and singsong chant of child’s play and helps prepare your child for successful private lesson instruction. Children love the progression from semester to semester, as patterns are repeated and built upon, addressing students’ needs at each level. An adult must accompany each child to all Musikgarten® classes.
