a two-year
Pre-Keyboard program
Year One: ages 4½ to 6 years for continuing students
boys who are newcomers should be 5 or 6
Year Two: 5½ to 7 years for continuing students
boys who are newcomers should be 7
60 minutes (last 10 minutes with
parent participation)
This two-year music sequence includes singing, creative and structured movement,
ensemble-playing, ear-training, and a logical approach to music literacy that
builds
symbolic thinking, concentration, memory, and self-expression. Class activities
include
movement games, singing, instrumental ensembles, and music-reading. Excellent
preparation for
later study on any instrument, Year Two is required for children younger than 8
to enter the
Musikgarten piano program. (Please note that some children who just turn 4 when
starting
Year One may be more suited to repeat either Year One or Year Two along the
way, and boys new
to the program who are a young 4 will be happier in Play Time.)

Music Makers at the
Keyboard (KB)
A three-year total musicianship program
Ages 6 to 9 years for Young Musician Graduates
Ages 8 to 10 years for newcomers to Musikgarten
Adult Program, see below
55 minutes (parent-participation on certain days)
taught in groups of 4 - 7 students
Students literally run into their piano class, excited to show teacher and classmates
the songs they discovered how to play by their own musical ears! Having
completed
Young Musician Year Two, they will continue to develop their musicianship, as the
songs
that have become dear to them over the years are easily transferred to the piano/keyboard.
Older newcomers will discover how natural it is to play what they can sing.
Games, singing,
and movement are a part of every lesson. The "group" experience capitalizes on
children's delight in making music with others, and greatly enhances the skills of rhythmic competency,
listening, and music-reading.
Some children (with small hands, or for some other reason)
benefit from doing Year One twice.
Required home equipment: Good keyboard or piano, and a CD player
near the piano,
easy for the student to operate
