CHILDREN LOVE MUSIC!

Your child isn’t too young to start learning the Musikgarten way. We have classes designed for you and your newborn, toddlers, and preschoolers. In Musikgarten we help you & your children develop their inherent love of music and musical skills through active movement and fun-filled songs.

Fall 2023 Session is 13 weeks of classes that meet once a week for 30 minutes. There are several class choices every day of the week except Sundays. Each family receives Musikgarten’s outstanding recorded music and a colorful book to use at home.

Cost for the semester is $135 (Two or more siblings registered in the same class will receive a $25 per registrant discount)

FAMILY MUSIC for MIXED AGES: Babies (18 months) through 5 years old. (Babies younger than 18 months are welcome if attending with an older sibling or with permission)

Family Class is designed for all ages of preschool children and their grownups to experience the joy of music making together as a family. Each week you and your child will have 30 minutes packed full of kid-friendly folk songs and experience a variety of simple instruments to nurture your child’s musical aptitude.

Musikgarten classes develop key skills, vital for all learning:

• listening skills
• following directions
• impulse control
• communication skills
• positive social interaction

(That’s important for you to know, but for your child, it’s all about the pure fun of music and movement shared with you!)

CYCLES OF SEASONS: Children 3.5 to 5 years old

This class is for the child who can manage longer listening times, some discussion and more complex physical movement.  In this class we musically explore the current season in our weeks together.  Your child will delight in the changing seasons through folk songs, dances & games, pictures, mini-discussions, and focused listening activities. We build on their earlier music experience in rhythm and tonal patterns with the addition of more advanced rhythm language and solfege.  Hearing and playing a wider variety of percussion instruments will have them asking to play fun impromptu instrumental compositions.

Younger siblings are welcome to attend this class with their older sibling with permission from the program director.
