Music Together ® Classes
Spring Session Begins the Week of February 18, 2008
 
What is Music Together?
 
Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them.  First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
 
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical.  All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.  By emphasizing actual music experiences rather than concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV.
 
Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn best from the powerful role model of parents/caregivers who are actively making music.  The program brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life.
 
Each Semester Includes:
  • Ten weekly 45 minute classes teaching a new song collection every fall, winter and spring.
  • Music and Your Child: A Guide for Parents and Caregivers -- a complimentary booklet for new Music Together families.
  • New professional recording each semester, with new songs, rhythm chants, "play-alongs," and tonal and rhythm patterns.  Two copies -- one for home, one for the car!
  • Beautifully illustrated songbook with family activities to enjoy at home.
  • Semi-annual family newsletter and informative national website.
  • Parent education to help adults understand and enhance their child's music development.
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 very young children.
  • Infants, toddlers, and preschoolers participating at their own levels in family-style classes of mixed ages.
