Being blessed to raise children again in my middle-age, I’ll pass along over the next month some suggestions for activities I trust your children will find as interesting and beneficial as have mine. First up: Musikgarten
Designed over thirty years ago by Dr. Lorna Heyge, Musikgarten divides its music courses of instruction from newborn to eighteen months; eighteen months to three years; and three to five years of age. Beginning with developing motor skills through music with newborns to toddlers; Musikgarten instruction then advances to recognizing beat and timing; and completing with reading musical notes. After following the Musikgarten curriculum, your child will be ready for specific piano or violin instruction.
Our girls began their musical literacy with Musikgarten, then moved on to individualized fiddle, piano, and guitar instruction. If you wish to introduce your youngsters to structured music lessons and their strong correlations with children’s aesthetic appreciation and improved speaking and math skills; I can wholeheartedly recommend the Musikgarten system foundation.
