Download Music
All home materials come with both a CD of the music AND a digital download option. The code for your Digital Download is usually on the inside of the front or back cover of your Parent Handbook or on the wrapping on your CD. Music may be streamed or downloaded from digital.musikgarten.org; more information on accessing the download option is below.

B) DOWNLOADING DIRECTLY TO DEVICES (INSTEAD OF COMPUTER)
Musikgarten digital music files are stored in a zip folder. Since the majority of devices (cell phones, IPad, tablets, etc.) cannot open a zip file you will first need to download a zip file extractor app.
For Android devices and Kindle:
1) There are several zip file extractors you can download from the Google Play store or Apps Store on your Kindle, but we recommend the free version of B1 Archiver. Download this to your device; once this is downloaded move to step 2.
