WHY JOIN US FOR OUR FALL SESSION?
• Children have a natural aptitude for music that blossoms in a sufficiently rich music environment, the kind that Music Together provides in class and supports at home. Children can learn to sing and dance as naturally as they learn to walk and talk if parents/caregivers model music making—and participating in Music Together classes makes this easy.
• Young children learn through play and experimentation and by watching and listening to the grownups they love, but parents don’t need to have music skills; they just need to be willing to play and have fun with their children!
• Our research-based curriculum not only develops music skills, it nurtures creativity, selfexpression and confidence while also supporting social, emotional, cognitive, language and physical development. Research shows that Music Learning Supports All Learning®.
• Our mixed-age classes enable siblings to attend together, creating an ideal learning environment where infants, toddlers and preschoolers can freely participate at their own level.
• Music Together song collections have outstanding arrangements that are fun and sophisticated yet easily accessible—and they are loved by both children and grownups alike. The music includes a delightful mix of both original songs and traditional tunes from both the US and many other countries.
We bring families together in a warm, supportive environment with the goal of having everyone feel comfortable singing, dancing and jamming. Because young children learn best from the powerful role models in their lives, our engaging classes show parents and caregivers how to help their children become confident, lifelong music-makers—just by having fun making music themselves. Classes are mixed-age so the siblings can be together. Try a free demo class to see if our program is a good fit for your family!
