Summer Musikgarten | Valleymusicacademy

SUMMER 2025 SCHEDULE

6 Sessions

FAMILY MUSIC: Nimble & Quick

Ages 6 months- 3 years with caregiver

Thursdays 6:30 - 7:00 PM

The tales told by the nursery rhymes and song material encourage the older children as they are developing language skills and challenge them to use their imaginations in new ways. The rhymes and songs are just as appealing to the younger children in the room, whether it is a toddler enjoying the movement, or instrumental play or the infant who is simply enjoying the sound of the music and the rhythm of the words as they bond with their parent.

FAMILY MUSIC: Nature's Music

Ages 6 months- 3 years with caregiver

Saturdays 9:00 - 9:30 AM

About Musikgarten

When music and movement are a natural, joyous part of childhood, children benefit greatly in many areas of life. Language development, self expression, memory skills, concentration, social interaction, fine motor skills, listening, problem solving, teamwork, goal setting, and coordination are all impacted by early music and movement education. What's more, as a child learns to play music, other areas of development - creativity, family bonding, self-esteem, confidence, emotional development - are also positively impacted.

Musikgarten is the leader in early childhood music education. Valley Music Academy's Musikgarten offers a complete multi-year educational program that helps infants, toddlers, and children develop a deep love of music and the ability to express it.
