Welcome to Southern Vermont 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 Southern Vermont 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.
As you familiarize yourself with our class offerings and learn more about Musikgarten, we look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into our music studio.

Testimonials:
“My toddler loves music class! She is excited to go every week and will tell me which songs she hopes to sing on our ride there. It is fun to get to sing the songs together between classes, especially the jumping or dancing songs because sometimes I can’t tell what words she is singing, but I can pick out her movement. We enjoy it together!”
-Mallory
“Evan does a wonderful job at captivating young children and tapping into their musical sides. She is a talented musician and her love for music and the arts shows during her lessons. My children look forward to music class each week, often coming home singing the songs. We love Musikgarten with Evan!”-Kelsey
“Not only do Willow and I enjoy music time in class with Evan, but it has also been fun for us on car rides to sing along to the recordings of the songs and sounds that we have learned in class. Willow has learned so much about following directions, sharing, making sounds with instruments and her body. We love the movement part of class and the way we welcome and celebrate all our friends in class as well.”-Teri
