Every child LOVES Music Together®!
During the early years, it is extremely important that parents and caregivers be the ones who create a nurturing environment. Children are biologically "wired" to respond most to those with whom they have close bonds. Music Together classes help you build that bond. Best of all, it's fun!

Mommy and child for dyad.
Activities focus on adult/child interaction rather than child/child, so children of different ages (such as siblings) can enjoy classes together.

The Music Together approach develops every child's birthright of basic music
competence by encouraging the actual experiencing of music rather than the
learning of concepts or information about music. It began as an educational project
of the Center for Music and Young Children and is now being taught nationwide. (Bettina Leu, handing out instruments)

A parent is a child's most important teacher. Research shows that children learn their disposition toward music from their primary caregiver! A parent that has a difficult time singing in tune can still teach his or her child that music is fun and important by modeling enthusiastic participation. We offer parents' education during class to increase the understanding of the relevance of the activities to your childs' development. We encourage you to model joyful music-making in class and at home.
