Music is a Basic Life Skill!
We believe that music ability is as much a basic life skill as walking or talking, and that all children can achieve basic competence in music provided their early music environment is rich. Basic music competence is defined as the ability to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, including instrumental study if one so chooses.
The Joy of Family Music!
Our intention is to help families rediscover the pleasure and value of informal music experience, musical play, which does not seek perfect performance, but leads to a life long love of music making!
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 leveles in family-style classes of mixed ages.
|
| |
Parents and caregivers contributing to the enrichment of their child's music environment to provide a rich variety of tonalities and meters.
|
| |
A new song collections every semester for three years, featuring great arrangements of original and traditional songs in a wide variety of tonalities, meters, and cultural styles.

Classes have a characteristic flow which allows various ages to participate and make music together, each at their own level. Certain rituals, such as the welcoming Hello Song, and the sequence of the Instrumental Jam Session / Lullaby / Good-bye Song at the end of class, help children to internally pace their involvement and aid in classroom management.
The atmosphere invites and encourages participation by both children and adults, regardless of musical skill, talent, or training. Music Together parents discover what a powerful role model they are to their child, just by having fun with the music themselves. In doing so, they often find that their own musicality flourishes as well.
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 a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers, and early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences. All our teachers have successfully completed Music Together's training program. Music Together applies the latest research in early childhood music development to the program. A curriculum pioneer since 1987.
