musical ability, but in the way in which they relate to children and foster a love for music and learning. Together, we have formed a network of
studios—to offer students of all ages quality, affordable, God-honoring music and art education in the north Twin Cities area! Read more about
our teachers.

Class Descriptions
Music and Theater Ages 6-13 will build confidence and music skills while preparing for a full-fledged musical production, complete with costumes, props,
set, and lighting! Mrs. Linda Lindeen, equipped with 30 years of experience, will teach students proper breathing and vocal techniques and basic music
theory while they learn songs and choreography for their musical production at the end of the session! Students will also have an opportunity to audition
for solos and acting parts. Specialist drama instructor, Mr. Tim Lindeen, will work with students in small groups. Our productions will not always be
evangelical in nature, but will always be of the highest standards in morals, language, and modesty. Parents will be given an opportunity to volunteer to
help with set design, obtaining costumes and props, etc.

Musikgarten is an amazing program to introduce young children (2.5 - 5 years) to a love of music! Your children will love Mrs. Beth as she teaches them
simple vocalizations with pint-sized instruments, fun dance movements, and stories about nature and the world! Children will benefit from music and
movement while having fun at the same time! The curriculum is specially designed for this precious age group to have a gentle, positive introduction to
the world of music! All age groups will be able to enjoy all their songs at home with our amazing Family Materials and CDs! Parents will be invited to sign
up for one class per semester to be a room helper and experience the class with their child! Sign up will be available at Orientation (siblings can visit,
too!). More about Musikgarten.

Basic Drawing I Why do we build? Why do we paint and draw? Why do we plant beautiful flowers gardens? Why do we put color on our walls and hang
lovely pictures? We appreciate the beauty in God’s creation and we love to express it because we are made in God’s image!
Children who sign up for Basic Drawing I class will be introduced to the skills necessary to encourage and develop confidence in drawing. Students will
learn the basic elements of line, dimension and space along with art history. They will receive reinforced teaching that their Creator has set the
standards for art as He demonstrates order, color, abstract, depth, perspective and precision in all he has made. Students are invited to participate in our
Art Display on our Production night on Nov 21!

What Parents are Saying:
"We have been so blessed by your program! Both of our boys have benefited in different ways. Landon has been able to grow in memorization and drama
knowledge. His self confidence and determination to succeed have taken a step forward. He feels like part of a team and has a desire to do his best He wakes
up on Wednesday morning early to practice whatever he was to focus on, so he can surprise the teacher with his progress. He is so excited to be on stage and
minister to others.
Lane has matured to the next level socially. He has been accepted for who he is and been able to express himself through body movement and singing. When
he goes to bed at night, I hear him going through all of the songs and poems Mrs. Beth taught in class, he even says exactly what she says before and after
each song (which is usually some very positive comment). He has gained confidence in communicating and making friends. Mrs. Beth has been amazing; she
takes time to connect with each child and look them in the eyes. Lane really feels special and loved. Thank you so much for making an eternal difference with
Lane--he looks forward to seeing Mrs. Beth every Wednesday."
"As Isaiah and Briannah climbed into the car after Musikgarten today, Isaiah excitedly said, "Mom! Music was SO short today! It was just so fast!" I looked at
Isaiah with a smile and said, "Sweetie, it actually went five minutes longer today." I know without a doubt, after his comments today, that he enjoys Musikgarten
so much that the time just flies by!"
