 THE POWER OF MUSIC. Music educator Michelle Junia believes that music and movement are natural parts of childhood and children can greatly benefit greatly in many areas of life.
Music is like magic. It affects people of all ages in so many ways that not even science nor logic could explain. For one, learning music is the key to raising well-rounded children that excel in almost all aspects of life. Children that start early in music education are usually the ones that have good memory, above average Math skills, and high levels of abstract and creative thinking. Music’s melodic and rhythmic patterns are also proven to awaken and stimulate neural pathways in the brain at an early age. read more  Breaking barriers through music (The Philippine Star) Updated May 28, 2010 12:00 AM MANILA, Philippines - Even infants do concerts as Musikgarten joins Stardev Music School in a recital-concert headlined Breaking Barriers through Music at the Teatrino Theater & Bar in Greenhills Promenade tomorrow, May 29. read more Musikgarten uses music to teach pre-school children (The Philippine Star) Updated April 12, 2010 12:00 AM
 Music plays a vital role in early childhood development.
MANILA, Philippines - It is often said that music allows a child to develop his cognitive skills and that the critical years of his development are the first five years of his life. Yet, these two principles are seldom applied to our children. That’s why singer and educator Michelle has brought here Musikgarten, the leading brand of early childhood music and movement education in the US.
“One of the prevalent things happening in our country is when parents would say that their child is too young for school. But it is only very natural for children at a young age to be already involved in music,” Michelle said. “It is also during this time when children usually just play and move around so that their parents take their age for granted, not being fully aware that these years are in reality the most important ones,” she added.
