Musikgarten Philosophy
When music and movement are a natural, joyous part of childhood, childhood, children benefit greatly in manay areas of life.
Language development, self expression, memory skills, concentration, social interaction, fine motor skills, listening, problem solving,
teamwork, goal setting, and coordination are all impacted by early music and movement education. What's more, as a child learns to play music, other areas of development -- creativity, family bonding, self-esteem, confidence, emotional development -- are also positively impacted.
Musikgarten's philosophy is steeped in this understanding. Movement and music activities are perfect for child development.
Music immerses the child in language, evokes movement, simulates the brain and forsters physical coordination -- all in a group setting that builds community -- a truly holistic experience.
