Beginnings is a comprehensive, sequential early childhood music program for children from birth through age 9.
Based on the Musikgarten method developed by early childhood music pioneer Dr. Lorna Heyge, Beginnings classes
provide a music-rich environment in which parents and children, together, can play and grow musically. Our family
packets allow the activities first experienced in class to continue at home. The wonderful CD's that are the
central piece of the family packets allow the child to really learn the songs that are the context through which
all the musical concepts, such as keyboard skill, note reading and ensemble skills, will be taught at the appropriate time.
Come for the fun, stay for the education and see why Beginnings has no equal.
