Musikgarten Classes
Musikgarten is a nationally certified early childhood curriculum for children from birth to 9 years old
Your Child
Musikgarten offers instruction which is just right for each age level – from your baby who benefits greatly from being part of a live music environment, right up through school-age children.
Our Semester
Our Musikgarten classes operate on a 15-week semester each fall and spring, with additional camps and “drop-in” classes offered throughout the summer.
Our Teachers
Dr. Samee Griffith has been a certified Musikgarten teacher for over 8 years, and was the recipient of the Musikgarten Exemplary Award in 2023.
Our Classes
Beginning simply with singing, moving, and exploring rhythm instruments, we add levels of complexity as the children grow, expanding the singing repertoire, teaching more complex dances, and building instrumental ensembles. Children coming through the Musikgarten program inherently “know” the music they eventually play on the keyboard in later years.
