The fact that children make beautiful music is less significant than the fact that music makes beautiful children.” What sets Musikgartens program apart from other early childhood music programs?
— Musikgarten is an aural program, guided by the ear, not the eye. Because our children’s visual sense is so much better developed than their aural sense, they are naturally drawn to the visual when presented with both visual and aural stimuli. However, since music is an aural art, we work very hard to make sure our students have a strong aural foundation on which to base their music learning. — Musikgarten curricula are built on a carefully sequenced learning theory, always planting the seeds for music literacy. — Musikgarten approaches movement in a very purposeful and methodical way, using movement activities to nurture both developmental attributes, such as impulse control and motor flow, as well as musical attributes such as beat competency and the development of an expressive body. — Musikgarten is the only “through-composed” early-childhood music curriculum, taking a child from birth through beginning piano instruction.
