Musical Environments® is an oasis of classical music for children.

“Music is a more potent instrument than any other form of education. Children should be taught music before anything.” – Plato

What are your dreams for your child? Intelligence? A well-rounded personality? A kind heart? Joy?

Research proves that you can increase your children’s intelligence by introducing them to classical music early in life.

FACT: 95% of a child’s brain development takes place before age 4.

FACT: A child’s brain works on a “use it or lose it” principle. It discards synapses not used or stimulated early in life.

FACT: There is a huge increase in synapses during the first year of life, but the “windows of opportunities” when the child’s brain is like a super sponge, soaking up new information more readily, extends throughout childhood.

…all good reasons to introduce your children to classical music as early as possible.

Musical Environments is a music and art school for children from birth to age 12 based on holistic educational approach with an emphasis on classical music.

Usually, we think we have to teach music; instead, we should concentrate on creating a musical atmosphere. According to Dr. Montessori, “the secret of all man’s progress is the love of his environment”. Just as beautiful speech comes from years of listening, music appreciation comes from years of listening to music. Musical Environments provides such musical atmosphere.

Musical Environments has created a musical atmosphere where children grow into classical music so that they can unfold their full potential. Here your children enter a soothing environment far from noise, electronic games and media. Instead, they enjoy a combination of creative arts and playful activities while being exposed to classical music. The Musical Environments’ curriculum is a child’s dream come true! At the same time this holistic approach

Stimulates their brain development
Instills in them a love for classical music and fine arts
Fosters their curiosity for learning
Lays a foundation for them to unfold their talents and be the best they can be
Transforms them into well-rounded individuals.

Discerning parents looking for an alternative holistic environment for their children that fosters their creativity and imagination, unfolds their talents, maximizes their potential, and brings beauty to their lives.

There is a wide variety of beautiful non-classical music that raises one’s spirits, for example, Indian, Arabic, Chinese, Japanese music, or nature background, such as the sound of rain or dolphins. Why to focus on classical music?
