One of my favorite parts of the Musikgarten curriculum is its sequential nature. Musikgarten has an eight year plan for your child, starting at birth, which can help them develop into musically minded people at a very young age. Because the curriculum is so stable, activities are repeated year to year, with new musical elements added on as children mature.
In the next few newsletters, I will explore the highlights of each of our different classes for you. But for today, I wanted you to have a general overview. Many parents don’t realize that you can go for a full eight years without repeating any particular class, and that everything we are doing culminates in a piano class once children reach grade school.
1. Music for Babies (0-1 year and walking well)
2. Music for Toddlers (1-2 years)
3. Music for Preschoolers (3-4 years)
4. Pre-Piano (Kindergarten or 1st Grade)
5. Music Makers at the Keyboard (1st-3rd grade)
These classes aren’t even including the special summer programs we run! Currently, at Little Songbird Music Studio in Florence we offer every level of class. Children can join anytime. It’s never too early! Children learn music the same way they learn language, so early education is critical! We really hope you will stick with the program. The cumulative effect is priceless!
