Musikgarten

Classes

When music and movement are a natural, joyous part of childhood, children benefit greatly in many areas of life. Language development, self-expression, memory skills, concentration, social interaction, fine motor skills, listening, problem-solving, teamwork, goal setting, and coordination are all improved by early music and movement education. PCPC’s Musikgarten classes provide a way for parents to give this gift to their children while bonding together. Grandparents are welcome, too!

Please note that a caregiver needs to be present with your child during class. Musikgarten takes place on Monday mornings and is taught by Deborah Waterman. Fall semester runs from September to December and spring semester runs from January to May.
