The Music Garden is an arts and enrichment center located near the U.L. Campus, at
1424 St. John Street. The Music Garden is owned and operated by teacher and

experience. Our goal is to provide opportunities for children and adults to express their
creativity through a variety of fun and educational experiences.
We offer a variety of programs and classes including Music Together, an internationally
recognized music program for children from birth through age 5, and the grownups who
love them! The winter session of Music Together classes begins the week of January 9 th .

More About Music Together Classes:
•Fully trained, registered Music Together teachers lead groups of six to twelve children
and their parents or caregivers (nannies, babysitters, grandparents, or relatives) in forty-
five minutes of music and movement experiences.
•Each weekly class offers a dozen songs and rhythmic rhymes, including fingerplays,
small- and large-movement activities, and instrument play.
•Children and their adults have opportunities to create and improvise—making up new
words to songs, offering movement ideas, making silly sounds, and sharing musical
ideas from the family's play at home.
•The relaxed, playful, non-performance- oriented classroom setting respects and
supports the unique learning styles, developmental levels, and temperaments of all
participants, creating a strong sense of community.
•Families receive two new CDs each semester—one for home and one for on-the-
go—along with an illustrated songbook that’s filled with music-making ideas for
spontaneous music play beyond the weekly classes.
