What is Musikgarten?
Musikgarten is a program that emphasizes active, thoughtful participation, not entertainment. It also emphasizes movement, not visual stimulation and is unique in these respects. Research documents that children today are over-stimulated visually and need purposeful movement and music training now more than ever.
The Musikgarten program is the most pedagogically sound available, covering children birth to age nine – a complete bridge from early childhood to class piano lessons. Musikgarten's curricula is uniquely effective because its designed learning sequences repeat and build patterns to continually reinforce and stimulate students. This continuity is valuable to a developing child.
