Our Footsteps in Music for Toddlers is the first group of classes in the Pathway to Music Literacy through Musikgarten. We offer new themes each semester throughout the “walking years” until children are ready to move up to Adventures in Music for Preschoolers (usually around age 3). The skills developed and practiced through playful activities in the Toddler & Preschool years are applied to a specific instrument and built upon as students begin to read music in later classes.
This New Friends class is an adventure in making friends everywhere we go! We do this through classic children’s songs and poems such as Jack and Jill, Love Somebody, and Hickory Dickory Dock, as well as delightful lesser-known folk, classical, and world music. As we make friends with the music, and with others in class, we will also be engaging with the world around us through an exploration of sound – sheep baaing, a clarinet, someone walking, and many more! Rhythm sticks and jingles will also become dear friends as we playfully learn to keep a steady beat. Please join us as we continue the wonderful pursuit of growth through music!
The family kit includes a colorful book with music and poems as well as an accompanying CD or digital download of beautiful music you will learn in the class.

Our Adventures in Music for Preschoolers is the second group of classes in the Pathway to Music Literacy through Musikgarten. The themes in this class follow the changing of the seasons throughout the year and prepare Preschoolers to move into the Music Pathways at the Piano or another group instrument class. The skills developed and practiced through playful activities in the Toddler & Preschool years are applied to a specific instrument and built upon as students begin to read music in later classes.
In this class, preschoolers will become familiar with many songs as well as the “voices” of familiar animals that visit throughout the seasons. They will also expand their musical and physical abilities through singing, playing age-appropriate instruments, movement, poetry, and active listening. All activities purposefully and carefully address the development of the whole child. The musical examples are beautifully arranged for the enjoyment of children and parents alike.
The family kit includes a colorful book with music and poems as well as an accompanying CD or digital download of beautiful music you will learn in the class.
