Overview

First attend Musikgarten

Then go for violin or piano lessons

A popular children Music & Movement Programme from U.S.A. - for Babies, Toddlers and Children up-to 9 years old. Based on over 30 years of research & practice. Builds a strong foundation for the children before they learn to play any musical instrument.

a) Family Music for Babies - 30 minutes per week
(Expecting mummy, newborn - 16 months)

Play musically with your baby through bouncing and rocking music songs, wiggle and peek-a-boo games, dancing, moving and singing. Music play activities are designed to increase your child’s curiosity about music, to develop listening skills and a sense of beat, and to establish the foundation for singing and musical thought.

b) Family Music for Toddlers
(16 months - Age 4
) - 30 minutes per week

Participate with your toddlers in singing, chanting, moving, dancing, listening and playing simple instruments – while developing a strong musical bond with your child. Through activities that bridge the natural connection between music and movement, your child’s musical aptitude and listening abilities are enhanced and further developed.

c) Cycles of Seasons
(Age 4 – Age 6) - 45 minutes per week

Celebrate your child’s love of nature and growing independence through activities. Classes are designed to build attention, self-expression and include singing, chanting, moving, focused listening, musical games, exploring musical instruments, creative movement and story telling.

d) Music Makers At the Key Board
(Age 6 & above) - 1 hour per week

Musikgarten children come to the piano ready to play the songs they have learned to sing, dance and love. Small group lessons at the keyboard capitalize on your child’s delight in making music with others and allow the children to gallop through the beginning keyboard levels with delight.
