Helping discerning families have lots of fun while nurturing their child's development
Book nowBook free class nowWhy Musikgarten
Musikgarten offers instruction that is just right for each age level—from your baby who benefits greatly from being part of a live music environment, right up through school-age children who delight in our group piano classes.
Beginning simply with singing, moving, and exploring rhythm instruments, we add levels of complexity as the children grow, expanding the singing repertoire, teaching more complex dances, and building instrumental ensembles. Children coming through the Musikgarten program inherently “know” the music they eventually play in later years in group piano instruction.
No Bored Children In Our Music Classes!
Our fun classes make learning a breeze! The time just flies as we sing, dance, move and play instruments.

Learn moreI really enjoy coming to the Mixed Ages classes with my daughter, and I’m really impressed by her development and progress. A lot of the things she is learning, particularly her vocabulary, have been through your Musikgarten classes. I am seeing the educational benefits plus she really enjoys the classes!
Thank you for all you put into the lovely, fun lessons. My son has learned so much!
Thank you for your enthusiasm! My son’s musical foundation has been well established due to your delightful classes.
My son gets so much out of Miss Sonia's classes. I'm not sure if he's always that focused and well behaved for her, but he's enjoying the new musical challenges of Music Makers 1 and he also likes the fact he has homework (his school has a no homework policy which he's disappointed in ... so Musikgarten homework is very loved!).
Thank you so much for guiding my daughter with her music. She is thriving with your classes.
Thanks for bringing the superb Musikgarten programme to NZ. It has provided such joy for our children, as well as providing such a fantastic foundation for their learning.
I just wanted to use this opportunity to express how much joy we have attending the classes and we have highly recommended to all our friends. In particular, I would like to thank Miss Sonia who has been our son's teacher. She has shown an incredible amount of compassion, and understanding for his unique challenges and taken him for who he is without any judgment. He still talks about her and will always remember her. She is one of the people who does the teaching in such a natural way and her love for music has really been passed on to our son for life.
Thank you for all that you give in our Musikgarten class. My son’s love of music is certainly growing and much of what he does each day has his own music included! We enjoy and value the environment you create.
