1. Musikgarten provides a sequential approach to teaching children. A great deal of thought has gone into each level of Musikgarten classes, so that as a child goes through our program they continually add musical layers to familiar songs. We are unique because our curriculum is designed with a long-term plan for music education in mind. In fact, this internationally-acclaimed program is meant to be taken over a span of 9 years from birth to early elementary school keyboard lessons.
2. Musikgarten classes give parents many tools to share music with their child. Even after the first class, you will have activities you can easily try at home, in line at the grocery store, or in the car. You will be delighted after a few weeks when your child initiates an activity we have done in class, showing that they are making the music on their own.
3. Musikgarten classes are fun! Your child will look forward to music day, and you will see their natural love for music and dance flourish.
4. Musikgarten provides special one-on-one time you both will cherish. These classes promote bonding and intimacy that is all too hard to come by in the middle of your daily routines.
5. Musikgarten understands how music helps organize our brains. In class, your child will learn to respond to music, keep a steady beat and start to match pitch. These skills can last a lifetime!
6. Musikgarten curricula use folk, classical and traditional children’s music.
The original curriculum was incredibly well thought out years ago, wonderful musical arrangements were made to complement it, and ever since then the founders have essentially left it alone. Musikgarten doesn’t pump out hundreds of new songs a year, but instead focuses on quality material any professional musician would be proud to listen to and teach.
7. Musikgarten focuses on the natural world. The Musikgarten instruments you receive with your family packets are made of beautiful, natural materials. Many of our songs and listening experiences help children experience birds, farm animals, the seasons, insects and other themes from nature that they will naturally encounter. Musikgarten is very proud to have been green before it was popular!
8. Musikgarten recordings cannot be matched in quality. Every sound you hear on a Musikgarten CD is a natural sound. A flute is a flute, a violin is a violin, and a grasshopper is a grasshopper. The arrangements were done by Howard Baer, an award winning composer who understands children. As a musician, I do not get tired of listening to Musikgarten CD’s. I cannot say the same, unfortunately, about most children’s music I have encountered.
9. Musikgarten educators have a passion for making sure your children receive music education of the highest possible quality. All the way up the ladder, Musikgarten teachers are so excited about the musical potential in young children. I hope you will take advantage of this brief time to make sure your children have musical skills they will keep for life!
10. Musikgarten alumni are well prepared to learn an instrument. Because they have learned to listen well and have learned the building blocks of music at an early age, instruments come very naturally to them.
