The primary goal of Musikgarten is to enable families to actively
make music together in their homes. All children when given
a musical environment will find their own unique ways to
make music, especially when other family members join in.
Playing together musically is the perfect medium for families
to grow together, especially in our world so replete with
be-alone activities
All children have an inborn ability to sing and move rhythmically. Music is a part of every culture around the world, and, given the opportunity, all people sing, dance, and make music.
When children move to musical sounds, they are communicating something
about their feelings and perceptions of the world. Body
movement is a natural outlet for expressing their feelings
and is possibly closer to human expression than any other
we know. Long before children can articulate this in
language, they communicate much more effectively with
body language.
Research and experience tell us that the earlier a child is in an environment
of active music-making, the more likely the child's inborn
musical talent will be awakened and developed. Children
feel encouraged to make music freely and naturally when
surrounded by music and musical instruments.
Music meets the needs of children
Music-making is active and joyful! Psychological studies tell us that
positive motivation in a pleasant environment is the
child's primary motivation for learning. Moving to music,
playing instruments, and listening to music are all naturally
joyful experiences for children and adults to experience
together.
Music makes a difference
Music once again is being valued as part of a well-rounded education.
Researchers, teachers, parents, and educational leaders
are all coming to the same conclusion: music makes a
significant difference in the lives of children. Music
encourages overall development, decreases learning problems,
and enhances brain functioning - all in a learning environment
that fosters the building of community. Through music
we address the whole child - body, mind, and spirit. |
