AWARD-WINNING, research-backed MUSIC CURRICULUM
6 Reasons Musikgarten Is Truly Revolutionary and Outstanding:
- Our ambition is to develop holistic musicianship and true music literacy in the individual, while grounding music-making in a nurturing social setting, firstly through parent-child bonding and subsequently through peer relationships.
- Our curriculum provides a sequential pathway to music education that empowers children to become independent and thinking musicians, as well as bold and creative music-makers.
- Our lessons address students’ needs at each level, providing flexibility for each child to develop at their level of readiness and reach their full potential.
- Our music and instruments are of a high quality as we want to deepen a child’s appreciation for music and build a strong foundation for life-long music making.
- Our activities arouse children's curiosity towards the world around them, promotes empathy and kindness, and fosters their affinity with the natural world.
- Our teachers are versatile, experienced in classroom management and continually upgrading themselves through hours of professional development.
DON'T JUST AIM TO START YOUNG, START RIGHT
Taking advantage of the "golden window" of learning (0-5 years old)... in the right way
In the first five years of a child's life, the brain forms more than 1 million new neural connections every second (Harvard University’s Centre on the Developing Child). This is the "golden window of learning" where music should be introduced as music activates more parts of the brain than any other activity.
But what kind of music should we introduce to the child, and in what ways?
- Could babies benefit from listening to popular children's songs at home or even to classical music played on a speaker?
- Would it suffice for children to listen to music without their parents participating in the music-making?
- Can music exposure and appreciation be done alone to save money?
Choosing the right curriculum for your child will improve long-term outcomes
In any form of learning, it is more beneficial to be:
Learning in a group as knowledge is most powerfully constructed collaboratively
Knowledge becomes embedded when it is applied in real-world settings involving others. Babies learn to transcend parallel pay and sensitise themselves to others in a group class. Preschoolers often find the group learning format fun and engaging, and they are motivated to learn in order to perform well for their peers.
Developed holistically so that we can be versatile musicians with future-ready skills
Our piano lessons cover technique, expression, aural, theory, performance and exam readiness, improvisation, composition, pop piano playing, ensemble playing. Our early years classes cover rhythm, melody, aural, ensemble playing, improvisation, composition, performance readiness.
Learning at the child's level of readiness
We believe that the focus of music learning should not be comparative and competitive in nature ("look at what this 4-year-old can do!"), but that we should provide children with just the next level of challenge needed for them to sustain interest and progress well.

What Our Families Say
With time and patience the skills necessary to become a proficient pianist will come, but only after the musician inside each child has been awakened and brought forth
