Did you know that all children are musical?
Have you ever wondered what you can do to nurture the musical growth of your child, regardless of your own musical ability?
Experience Music Together® and find out how important--and how fun--your role can be! Mixed-age classes (0-5) provide a multitude of musical experiences for newborns to kindergartners and the grown-ups who love them.
Our Music Together classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement.
A Music Together class is……
• A community of families sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants, and movement activities in a relaxed, playful, non-performance-oriented setting.
• Music learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the unique learning styles of every child.
• Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers participating at their own level in family-style classes of mixed ages.
• Parents and caregivers contributing to the enrichment of their child's music environment in class and at home – regardless of their own musical abilities.
Why a Mixed Age Class?
Child development researchers recommend mixed-age groupings because they foster natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating the older ones and older children learn by leading the younger ones. This family environment contrasts with a more rigid school-oriented style of learning, and allows siblings to participate together, as well as moms, dads, grandparents, and caregivers. The whole family is welcome for this essential family music experience!
Parent Participation
You don’t need to wonder if you have any musical talent: you do!
Music Together classes can help you develop your talent as well as your child’s. Music Together is a comfortable place for adults to explore their own music-making abilities, which fosters the relaxed, playful atmosphere that allows learning to flourish in all children.
“Rather than simply allowing the parents to be present as observers,” explains Music Together co-founder Ken K.Guilmartin, “we took it as part of our mission to provide them with as fulfilling an experience as we give their children.”
