Testimonial
"Our family is a fan of the Musikgarten program and our teacher,
Gena. Gena has a beautiful voice and is terrific with all of the
children in class. We sing "Gena songs" (from the Musikgarten CDs) all
the way to class and all the way home. I have even caught my little
girls teaching the songs to their dolls! We have been
coming to Gena's class since our oldest (now 7) was an infant and now
she has joined the children's choir at church. All of our kids love
music and a lot of that love comes from the enjoyment they experience
at Muskigarten. Our 4-year old little girl and 1-year old boy love it
just as much as our oldest daughter did. They can't wait for "music
class" and have a ball singing and dancing and playing neat instruments."
