Rockland's Tooting Tots Adds Musik Garten Program

“Self-expression is important and leads to other positive outcomes for a child, like helping with socialization,” Argenzio says of her program.

The new program, as part of Musik Garten, is a sequential program that uses a lot of repetition. These patterns are introduced at a young age and lay a good foundation for the children to begin using a keyboard when they get older. For this reason, Argenzio chose Musik Garten because, through the use of redefined traditional folk songs, the program employs themes like nature and the changing of seasons to help create patterns in the children’s minds.

The new Musik Garten program also spurs a true bonding process for parents and their child. And of course, Argenzio encourages parents to give their vocal cords a test because, well, everyone can sing.
