Music Makers: At the Keyboard was written by Dr. Lorna Lutz Heyge, the founder of Musikgarten and Kindermusik, two of the most respected early childhood and preschool music curricula. The Musikgarten curriculum is developed on the premise that children internalize the music through singing, dancing, and drumming, which builds a natural bridge to expressing the music through the piano or keyboard and music reading. The class features a variety of activities that lay the foundation for success at the keyboard, such as dancing and drumming to nurture the child’s rhythmic development; singing to nurture the child’s tonal development; echoing patterns to nurture the child’s aural development; and composing and dictation activities to nurture the child’s literacy skills.
