We
believe that Musikgarten curricula have no equal.
Our early childhood program is expertly planned, executed,
and
supported. Our teachers are highly trained professionals
with classroom and field experience in early childhood
music education and child development. Our parents marvel
at the progress of their children, and our students,
well, they just seem to love coming to Musikgarten Hawaii.
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.
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.
Experience – Our founders have been
involved in early childhood music education since its
beginning as a field of study. 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. Its teacher educators
and staff are known for their integrity and professionalism.
Its founders, authors and teacher trainers can
be heard speaking at MENC, MTNA, Orff and Suzuki conferences
across the globe.
Environment – Musikgarten includes
nature as part of the classroom. We believe in the benefits
of teaching children to value and respect our natural
environment. Even our products and packaging are environmental
conscious.
