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 New Mexico.

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 before it was recognized. 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. Our teacher educators and Musikgarten staff are known for their integrity and professionalism. Our founders, authors and teacher trainers can be heard speaking at MENC, MTNA, Orff and Suzuki conferences across the globe.

Environment – At Musikgarten we include nature as part of our classroom. We believe in the benefits of teaching children to value and respect our natural environment. Even our products and packaging are environmentally conscious.
