Mixed Ages
This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age four through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. 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 level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.
3-5 Year Olds
This class is exclusively for children ages 3-5. It is similiar to our mixed ages classes only we ask the children to contribute their ideas and empower them to lead us in making music at times. It is a great class for pre-schoolers who are learning to share and play together in a friendly and open 'musical' environment. Younger siblings are welcome but the focus will be on the older children.
Babies
This class is exclusively for infants who are pre-crawling and their caregivers. The music activities and materials are specially designed for parents who want to learn as much as possible about music development in babies. Classes will focus on learning how to be musical with your baby by incorporating sound play, singing to and with your babies, movement activities and a special class dedicated to infant massage which will further demonstrate how the power of touch plays an important role in baby's development and parent/child bonding. Meet other parents of newborns, learn some fascinating music activities you can recreate at home with your baby and discover fun and new ways to interact musically with your baby!
