A Song from the Heart

<p>A Song from the Heart describes the development of Lorna Lutz Heyge's teaching philosophy-the philosophy that brought the original <i>Kindermusik</i> (1974-1994) from its beginnings as a German neighborhood music school program to its early days in Greensboro North Carolina. Through a series of sound intellectual well-researched revisions and additions Lorna Heyge created the holistic education program that is <i>Musikgarten</i> (1994-present)-holistic musically as well as educationally-for children ages birth through nine. Lorna Heyge's teaching philosophy is concerned for the education of children from all walks of life. Her Pathway to Literacy found in the <i>Musikgarten</i> curriculum addresses all the aspects of learning making it important to both parents and educators. Her work made a significant contribution to and continues to influence the field of music education.</p>
