Mixed Ages (Birth-5yrs)
This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five—and through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages in one class. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where 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. Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments. We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class. We use a variety of props and instruments to make experiencing the music fun and engaging. Click here to see our photo gallery! Each semester includes: - 10 weekly 45-minute classes teaching a new song collection every fall, winter and spring.
- New CD's each semester with the songs, rhythm chants, "play-alongs", tonal and rhythm patterns used in class.
- Beautifully illustrated songbook with family activities to enjoy at home.

Your 5-, 6-, or 7-year old is
developing quickly and exploring new activities, mastering new skills,
and gaining independence. As a parent, you may be making choices about
extracurricular activities that complement their new school experiences
and support their growth - in music and in life. The Music Together Big
Kids Program helps your child take a next step in music development by
blending the elements of Music Together that parents and children love
with new activities, skills, and challenges that are developmentally
appropriate for 5- through 7-year-old children.
Through family music-making, Music Together mixed-age classes support
the development of tonal and rhythm competence for infants through
4-year-old children. In contrast, Big Kids classes lay the foundation
for Basic Music Literacy, complementing formal music instruction in
school or in private instrument lessons, as well as a lifetime of joyful
music making.   - Classes are 60 minutes long and meet weekly for ten weeks, three
semesters per year. Since the program provides a cumulative learning
sequence, a minimum of three semesters is recommended, with six or more
preferred.
- During class, children learn musical skills and appreciation through
a special Music Together curriculum developed just for 5-, 6-, and
7-year-olds. Every family enrolled in class receives a Music Together
Big Kids edition songbook with activities specially created for
5-7-year-olds, two copies of the recording, and weekly HomePlay activity
pages.
- Younger children are not developmentally ready for the structure of a
Big Kids class. To be eligible, your child must have turned 5 by the
first day of class.
- While this can be a "drop-off" class, you (or another caregiver)
should plan to attend your child's first class, and attend the last
class of each semester. You may attend any and all classes if you wish.
However, due to the structure of the Big Kids class, we cannot
accommodate younger siblings (except for babies younger than eight
months). You and any younger siblings are welcome and encouraged to join
the last 10 minutes of every class.
