Musik Garten
Music and movement can have a dramatic effect on babies, toddlers, and older children. Some studies indicate that early music instruction positively impacts language and literacy development; others point to improved pattern recognition skills which are the basis for mathematical learning; still others reveal the social and emotional benefits of being involved in music. Given our long-standing reputation as the leader in the field of affordable early music education, Musikgarten can give your child a learning advantage for life.
Kelly Posey has been teaching music to preschoolers for over 23 years and is currently one of the music teachers at Westminster School for Young Children. She has been a certified MusikGarten teacher since 2007 and it is one of her biggest joys to be able to introduce the world of music to our youngest of God’s children.
