“Thank you for adding a special touch to our daughter and son-in-laws special day”

We are pleased that you are considering music classes for your child. Music is invaluable to the growth and development of children. Research has shown that we are all born with an aptitude for music, but that aptitude diminishes if it is not actively nurtured between the ages of birth and nine.
The Musikgarten curriculum is a holistic program, in that it develops the whole child – physically, emotionally, socially, cognitively, and of course, musically! We nurture the child’s musical aptitude by engaging children and their families in singing and movement activities which help attune the ear, refine the voice, and develop a rhythmic body through which music can be expressed.
We sing, chant rhymes, do fingerplays, clap, skip, hop and jump! We keep a beat with rhythm sticks and drums! We dance with scarves! We sing with shakers and jingle bells! Older children play resonator bars and xylophones! Bouncing songs, lullabies, peek-a-boo games, stories, poetry, listening activities, and more = FUN!
Musikgarten is the only program that offers curricula for newborns through group piano instruction. It is based on a keen understanding of how children learn, in both a general sense and, specifically, how they learn music.
The Music Factory in Springfield, Illinois, offers all levels of the Musikgarten curriculum, as well as private lessons and advanced music classes for older children and adults. Visit our website to read class descriptions, view the current schedule, and sign up for a free preview class.
Our classes are family-centered, loving and nurturing. Class time is educational, fun and purposeful — a rarity in today’s world in which education is often confused with entertainment.
As you familiarize yourself with our class offerings and learn more about Musikgarten, we look forward to answering your questions and welcoming your family into our music studio.

“Thank you so much for your beautiful music! I must have had thirty people tell me how wonderful you were! On behalf of my family and myself, thank you for your time and talent!”
“We just wanted to let you know how much we appreciated your music for the wedding. There is just nothing that could compare to the sound of a harp in that gorgeous setting, and more importantly, we are so thankful for your professionalism and talent! My husband doesn’t even have an inch of musical awareness in his body, and he on several occasions brought your name up and commented on how wonderful you played and presented yourself. God bless you!”
“We enjoyed meeting you and were so glad you could perform at our wedding. You played beautifully.”
“I was listening to Beauty & the Beast’s recordings from a performance and wanted to thank you again for making the music so beautiful and emotional when you played. I cannot imagine it being 1/2 as good without the things you added to the show.”
“We want to thank you once again for playing for our services yesterday. You made the day even more special.”
