Our Curriculum

We believe every child deserves a safe and inspiring place to flourish

Where It All Began

The Early Music Studio started with one goal: to provide top notch Music education that is age appropriate and supports the whole child.

At The Early Music Studio, we specialize in nurturing a lifelong love for music in children while equipping families with the tools to inspire and continue the musical engagement outside of class. Our comprehensive multi-year programs are designed for infants, toddlers, and young children, offering a engaging and immersive experience in music education.

Trained & Certified

We are trained and certified in the Musikgarten curriculum, which is a research-based approach that nurtures a child’s natural musical ability through play, movement, and interactive experiences. In addition to Musikgarten, we incorporate Kodály-inspired teaching methods, which emphasize singing, rhythm development, and active music-making. This combination provides a well-rounded, engaging learning experience that helps children develop a strong musical foundation, while also fostering creativity, coordination, and a lifelong love of music. Through singing, instrument exploration, movement, and storytelling, our classes create an exciting environment where children can grow musically and express themselves with confidence.Musikgarten is the leader in early childhood music education and is the only program which offers curricula for newborns all the way through to group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music. We offer a complete multi-year educational program that helps infants, toddlers, and children develop a deep love of music and the ability to express it. Our program offers home materials (recordings of the songs sung in class, age-appropriate instruments, and parent guidebooks) to reinforce lessons and involve the whole family in the fun.We demonstrate the many benefits children gain by taking part in our music and movement program—encompassing musical, physical, emotional, social, and cognitive growth.

MusikGarten is Global

The program is not just here in the US, it's all over the globe!

Today, Musikgarten is proud to have hundreds of thriving studios across North America, bringing the joy of music education to countless families. But our impact doesn’t stop there—Musikgarten’s renowned curricula have been adapted and embraced in countries worldwide, including Germany, Malaysia, Korea, China, Austria, Switzerland, South Africa, New Zealand, and Taiwan.

Inspiring a Love for Music and Nature

At Musikgarten, we integrate nature into our classrooms, fostering a connection between music and the natural world. We believe in teaching children to value and respect their environment as an essential part of their growth and education.

Our commitment to sustainability extends to our products and packaging, which are thoughtfully designed with the environment in mind. By combining music education with an appreciation for nature, we nurture well-rounded, mindful, and environmentally conscious individuals.

My 4 year old son and I are currently enrolled in Teacher Caroline and Teacher Wendy's class and we are so happy with the music program! The class has such a nice flow through songs, dancing and movement, imaginative play, and exploring musical instruments and props. Teachers Caroline and Wendy do such a wonderful job keeping all the children engaged and having fun. They use the children's names and really make each child feel special. They are absolutely wonderful at what they do! There is a lot of engagement between the children and the teachers. I highly recommend this music program to everyone!

I’ve got to say, if you’re reading this review you’re probably curious about this class and I’m writing this to encourage you to try it out. Each week is filled with wholesome family friendly activities, that are fun while having technical music techniques subtly peppered in. They are both interesting to me as an adult and my toddler and 4 year old. It’s great for all ages. Both instructors are warm, friendly, and welcoming in such a refreshing way. If you’re even a little interested in something like this, I highly recommend it, you won’t regret it.

We are so happy that we enrolled our daughter in The Early Music Studio! Caroline and Wendy were exceptionally kind and enthusiastic from our very first introduction session about the program. It became clear that they have a true passion for teaching music to children. Our daughter absolutely loves going to class and learning all the different ways to create different forms of music. It is amazing to see her use the lessons each week and grow in her musical knowledge and creativity. I would highly recommend The Early Music Studio to anyone who is interested in exploring an open and inviting environment for young ones to be exposed to kind music instructors and different ways to cultivate music.

We have loved our experience with the early music studio! My daughter has had so much fun and learned a lot. She is always excited for music Mondays! Whenever she gets home she wants to teach me a song and act out any games they played with her stuffed animals. I also love the email updates I get so I have knowledge of what they are learning when she doesn't share details with me.

We love the classes! Both teacher Caroline and teacher Wendy do such a great job interact and guide the kids for varies of musical activities. Whether is piano class or early music class, my kids enjoy them all.
