Classes for ages 6 months to 5 years are scheduled in the morning and early afternoon, and involve parent or caregiver participation. Children become involved in music with movement, playing instruments, dancing,and singing. Beginning music lessons at an early age significantly increases brain development academic achievement scores.
We also offer Keyboard Kids for children 5 to 7 years old, and individual music lessons in each department for ages 7 and up.

Denton
recently joined the Gray School of
Music in 2008 as a Musikgarten teacher. She received a Bachelor’s
of Science degree in Psychology from Southern Nazarene University in
Bethany, OK. Mrs. Denton has played piano since second grade. She also
took flute lessons for 10 years and violin lessons for 2 years. Her
piano experience, however, allowed her to accompany voice and instrumental
students while in college and earn extra income. After graduating college,
Mrs. Denton and her husband lived in Costa Rica for a year where she
taught 4th grade. She has taught piano in the past and
enjoyed occasionally playing piano for her home church in North Dakota.
Currently, Mrs. Denton’s greatest joy comes from being a stay-at-home
mom to her three-year-old daughter, Claire and wife to her husband of
more than 11 years. She also enjoys reading, exercising and cross-stitching.
Mrs. Denton is a licensed, certified Musikgarten teacher. The phone number for Musikgarten classes is 214-684-1964
