an internationally recognized, fun-filled music and movement program for infants, toddlers and preschoolers and the adults who love them. Originally offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
The Music Together approach to early childhood music development is based on the belief that music ability is as much a basic life skill as walking and talking. We believe all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat and participate with confidence and pleasure in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Our classes provide a high quality, developmentally appropriate curriculum with playful activities to promote such primary music development.
and their parents or primary caregivers meet 45 minutes per week for ten weeks to experience new songs, chants, movement activities, and instrumental jam sessions. In class, you and your child will experience the joy of actual music-making and the freedom to respond spontaneously to those experiences. Because young children instinctively respond to and imitate their loved ones, the active participation of parents and caregivers - regardless of musical ability! - is an essential part of the rich musical environment we create.
Very young children learn best through play, so our teachers are specially trained to foster an enjoyable, easy atmosphere where adults can relax as they play musically with their children. In class, you and your child will have many opportunities to create and play - making up new words to songs, improvising rhythms, dancing freely or simply observing and taking it all in.
families receive music development information about their own child, a new recording of original compositions and traditional songs performed by outstanding singers and instrumentalists, and a songbook full of pictures and activities to inspire music-making in your everyday family life.
Music allows for fun and family bonding, so join us today and LET'S MAKE MUSIC TOGETHER!!!
