Ms. Paula's Musikgarten


Known by over three decades of Montessori students as Ms. Paula, Paula Craig continues to offer classes to:

Toddlers and Parents, Primary Children (3 - 6 yrs.), and Elementary Children (ages 5 - 9).

Through song and music making, as well as movement and exploration of sensorial materials, each child is lovingly attended and gently guided into an understanding of the creative relationships with self and world on which both individuality and culture are based.

MUSIKGARTEN

THE CYCLE OF THE SEASONS

is an International music program for primary children (3, 4, and 5 year olds) and parents

These songs, dances, poetry and instruments have been exquisitely designed by Audrey Sillick, the Director  Emeritus of the Toronto Montessori Teacher Training Institute and Dr. Lorna Heyge, Pres. of Music Matters, to train the voice, to refine your child’s sensorial experience and make a highly significant impact on development.

Parents are invited to join the group for the last 10 minutes of each session. A special pouch of Family Materials is suggested for each season.  It includes a song and games  cassette or C.D., illustrated cards, and a parents’ booklet to reinforce the child and share with the rest of the family (cas. or C.D. — please note on application)


Classes missed can be made up on a different day.

The order for the pouch of Family Materials will be made from enrollment.  A class size limit applies.


DEVELOPMENTAL FAMILY MUSIC for TODDLERS and PARENTS

Please join us for joyous music making with our whole bodies.

coordinates brain development

DEVELOPS PARENTING SKILLS

For   BABIES and   PARENTS

 

Developmental music starts as early as 2 months.

(A human’s highest aptitude for music is at birth.)

 

  • Builds brain structures

  • Refines the nervous system

  • Enhances bonding of adult and child

“My twins started at 2 months old. Now (they have just started to walk) when they hear music at home, they get  their instruments from their Musikgarten bag and play along.”                                 ---Carol Herriage

 

 

         

WHY TEACH EARLY CHILDHOOD MUSIC?

Research has clearly proved that it develops the brain and nervous system (language, coordination and the mathematical mind). Dr. Montessori taught us that the better the needs of one developmental period are met, the more fully the next developmental period can be realized. It is our privilege and our duty to our children to provide them with a vibrant, carefully thought-out environment in which they can develop their gifts. From birth to six they are in their most sensitive period for music and movement.
