Musikgarten
Early Childhood Music-Music & movement are integral partners in the growth & development of a childʼs language, self expression, memory, social & fine motor skills, listening & problem solving, as well as overall confidence, creativity and emotional development. Musikgartenʼs philosophy is steeped in this overall understanding. A class musical experience that “immerses the child in language, evokes movement, stimulates the brain, and fosters physical coordination-all in a group setting that builds community” is truly a holistic experience.
