What is Music Together®?
The Music Together® program encourages your child's innate ability to sing in tune, create rhythms and participate in music making with joy and confidence. Regardless of your own musical background, as parent or caregiver, your participation is inspirational for children to develop musically.
Giving children and parents access to music offers an opportunity to be more attuned to and appreciative of music and the arts in general.
The Music Together® Philosophy
All children are musical.
- Therefore, all children can achieve basic music competence, which we have defined as the ability to sing in tune and move with accurate rhythm.
- The participation and modeling of parents and caregivers, regardless of their musical ability, is essential to a child's musical growth.
- This growth is best achieved in a playful, developmentally appropriate, non-performance-oriented learning environment that is musically rich yet immediately accessible to the child's - and the adult's - participation.
Why Mixed Age Classes?
The mixed age (for birth to age 5) class follows the recommendations of child development researchers-grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Children of mixed ages participate at their own level by singing, moving, chanting, listening, and exploring with musical instruments.
