Music Makers (from age 4, Sewickley)

Music Makers: At Home (from age 4)
Music Makers: Around The World (from age 4)

Musikgarten offers two sequential programs Music Makers: At Home in the World, and Music Makers: Around the World. Your child is now ready for this two-year learning program that includes singing, creative as well as structured movement, playing instruments and ensemble work, ear training and guided listening. This developmentally sound approach to music literacy builds symbolic thinking, concentration, memory, and self expression. The children start to work with written musical patterns, too.

Music Makers: At Home, your child will be engaged in activities that establish a solid music-making foundation. Focus on your child’s fascination with nature and develop a love of instruments. Your child will be introduced to the sounds of orchestral instruments individually, and then in the context of an ensemble. Such a listening foundation will lead to long-term success with music reading in future classes. Music Makers: At Home is Part One which leads to…

Music Makers: Around the World, your child will explore the music of the British Isles, Germany, and our own Amerindian and African-American music heritage. She/he will learn songs, dances, stories, rituals, and customs of these cultures to help him/her feel and understand others around the world. 

At the end of Music Makers: At Home and Musik Makers: Around the World, your child will have a comprehensive music foundation which is an excellent preparation for the next step, Music Makers: At the Keyboard.
