This summer you have a one of a kind chance for your child to experience the world class Finnish music education system.
We offer a unique music, movement and visual art program for your child. The concept is adapted from the Finnish Muskari, the national musical preschool program in Finland, which focuses on providing holistic music education to the young by using the Kodály, Orff and Dalcroze methods. Through a combination of learning to play instruments, singing, movement, and other forms of creative expression, Muskari will help children to develop a positive bond with music, thus bringing them happiness and providing them with new means of self-expression.
