Welcome to Linnea's Musikgarten We are pleased that you are considering music classes for your child. Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.

The Musikgarten classes offered at Linnea's Musikgarten are designed to nurture the child’s music aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed. Additionally, instrumental activities are part of the program, ranging from playing simple rhythm instruments such as sticks and drums for babies and toddlers to playing keyboards for older children.

Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.

As you familiarize yourself with the class offerings on the Class Description page, and learn more about Musikgarten, I look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into my music studio.  Please note that each class meets once a week.  

Announcement:   At this time Linnea's Musikgarten will not be offering most classes.  This could change as the year goes on.  Also, some keyboard classes will be offered and the Barnekor children's choir will be meeting.
