Classes

A Music Together® Class is:
• A community of families sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants and
movement activities in a relaxed, playful, nonperformance-oriented setting.
• Infants, toddlers and preschoolers participating at their own levels in
family-style classes of mixed ages.
• Parents and caregivers contributing to the enrichment of their child's music
environment, regardless of their own musical abilities.
• Music learned through developmentally-appropriate activities that support
and respect the unique learning styles of very young children.
• A new song collection each semester, featuring great arrangements of original
and traditional songs in a wide variety of tonalities, meters and cultural styles.
• 45 minutes of PURE FUN with your child every week!
Do infants really benefit?
Yes! Music is a whole brain activity and during infancy the brain is developing at a faster rate than at any other time
of their lives, so the infant brain is the ideal brain to expose to musical experiences! Infants’ participation will seem
passive at first, as they actively absorb what they are seeing, hearing and feeling. Throughout each semester,
Music Together teachers help caregivers learn to recognize their infant’s musical responses and point out musical
milestones. As their bodies and nervous systems mature, infants often show progressively more complex musical
responses and evidence of song recognition. Parents will learn in class how to nurture their child’s music
development and how to create or enhance the musical bond with their child.
About our mixed-age format...
In the 1980's Music Together pioneered the development of the mixed-age approach in early childhood music. In each class
we strive to create a musically-rich, developmentally-appropriate environment where the whole family can enjoy music and
nurture skills at the level right for each child. Mixed-age classes also provide a rich learning environment because children of
different ages thrive when they interact with each other: the babies are often fascinated by the older child, and the "big"
children (3- and 4-year-olds) enjoy helping and sharing with the "little" ones. This approach is based on research from music
education, early childhood development, and family relationships, as well as our 30 years experience in the field.
