Musik Garten is the culmination of a life's work for Dr. Lorna Lutz Heyge.   Together with Montessori pioneer Audrey Sillick, Dr. Heyge began this revolutionary music and movement program for young children after creating the original Kindermusik name and programs in 1974.   Musikgarten, Dr. Heyge's best work, now offers sequential, comprehensive programs from birth to age 9, including Music Makers: At the Keyboard, an exciting piano program specially designed to meet the needs of young children and to prepare them for individual study.

The first three programs, Family Music for Babies, Family Music for Toddlers, and the Cycle of Seasons, follow the varying developmental needs of the youngest children.   Babies rock, toddlers move, and preschoolers create and imagine!    Then age 4 or 5, children are ready to begin learning the symbolic language of music notation.  The Music Makers programs (At Home, Around the World and At the Keyboard) offer these children a fun and creative way to learn to read the language that their body and voice already know from earlier music classes! 

Musikgarten also offers supplementary programs that can be used as short 8-week semesters, summer camps, and even a program that is appropriate for church settings. 

Musikgarten's teachers are trained by the most qualified, educated persons in the field.  These Teacher Educators are constantly sought after as speakers and presenters at national and international events.
