Experience – Musikgarten founders
have been involved in early childhood music education since before it
was recog-nised. Dr. Lorna Lutz Heyge has been developing early childhood
music curricula for 30 years, while Audrey Sillick has been training early
childhood educators for 40 years.
Reputation – Musikgarten
has an impeccable track record. Our teacher educators and Musikgarten
staff are known for their integrity and professionalism. The founders,
authors and teacher trainers can be heard speaking at MENC, MTNA, Orff
and Suzuki conferences across the globe.
Training – The early
childhood music professionals who teach in our workshops are authorities
on children and early childhood music education. Our trainers have an
easy-going style that blends lecture with hands-on activities. Our training
is a real-life experience, not a videotape or online degree. Because of
the quality of our training, parents and children will recognize you for
the high quality of your classes.

Aural Emphasis – We emphasize
active, thoughtful participation, not entertainment. We emphasize movement,
not visual stimulation. Musikgarten is unique in these respects. Research
documents that kids today are over-stimulated visually and need purposeful
movement and music training now more than ever.
Comprehensive Pedagogy
– The Musikgarten program is the most pedagogically
sound available, covering children birth to age eight – a complete bridge
from early childhood to piano lessons. Our curricula are uniquely effective
because we have designed learning sequences that repeat and build patterns
to continually reinforce and stimulate our students. Students will enjoy
their lessons more and you will be able to retain them for up to nine
years. This continuity is as valuable to you as it is to the child.
Resources
– Musikgarten resources reflect the latest
research in early childhood development and combine the talents of top
authors, musicians and artists to bring a complete and holistic approach
to teaching music.
Fair Prices
– All of our products and training are reasonably priced, making them
accessible and affordable for everyone.
