All of our classes are a fast paced 45 minutes long.

• Percussion instrument exploration -settling in

• Welcome song

• Rhythm and tonal patterns - echoing

• Fingerplays, poetry

• Expressive movement (use of props such as scarves or hoops)

• Focused listening activity (to help develop auditory acuity)

• Story adventure (acting out a story idea)

• Rhythm practice (rhythm sticks, bells, shakers)

• Closing song

Absolutely, we will prorate classes when families join after the semester has started.

Yes. You are welcome to come and try your first class for free.

We take a maximum of 10 students

Music awakens and stimulates neural pathways in the brain that are associated with higher forms of intelligence, such as abstract thinking, empathy, mathematics and science. Music's melodic and rhythmic patterns provide exercise for the brain and help develop memory. Remember singing the ABC song to learn your ABC's? Studying music helps children establish good listening habits, which are essential for achievement in school. Overall, music activities are perfect for child development. Music immerses the child in language, evokes movement, stimulates the brain and fosters physical coordination - all in a group setting that builds community - a holistic experience.

Only Musikgarten has a program that addresses the unique developmental needs of children at each age. Each of the classes are interrelated, as they were written for children to grow-up with Musikgarten. This sequential planning also makes it easier for the students to grow in their musical competence and graduate to instrument playing.

Yes. For our classes held at The Leedy Grange, classes are designed for the child to attend and take part with their grownup. Parents are an integral part of class in the younger years. As students get older they participate by themselves, but parents take part in the classes towards the end of each lesson. 

Musikgarten lays the foundations for later formal instrumental learning. Our classes are very intentional in everything we teach - from the tonal patterns we use in thanking the children for returning their instruments to the focused listening activities where we isolate our hearing sense to better develop auditory acuity.

Yes, in most cases. Musikgarten classes develop students' aural senses more than other pre-piano methods. The Music Makers: At the Keyboard classes are taught in a group session, so that children learn from each other and grow in their comfort of playing with and in front of one another.

Yes! We welcome older siblings- please let us know so that we may provide enough materials.

After being in the program for a while, you can see the benefits your child is getting from class. It is our view that the singing, dancing and playing (in class and at home) is the best for your child's holistic development: language, movement, math skills, and physical coordination - all in a group setting that builds community. While other activities can be fun too, the primary building block to support all areas of learning can come from Musikgarten.
