Music is amazing: it can help us relax, become energized, or feel able to focus. It touches our hearts and brings us closer to each other.
Music also has a tremendous power, early in life, to support the developing child in all his growing capabilities. It forges unique connections in the brain, integrating the mind, body, and emotions. It enhances a child's language, cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development. Simply put, music learning supports ALL learning.
Bring the power of music to your learning community though the Music Together Preschool program! This comprehensive music curriculum allows your preschool to offer a consistently high level of music education that is geared to the way children learn. It goes beyond the once-a-week model of in-school music to create a music-making sensibility that infuses children, their teachers, and their parents with a sense of shared community and musical rapport.
What is Music Together Preschool?
Music in school
-
Music Together specialists teach music and movement classes weekly in cooperation with classroom teachers.
-
Classroom teachers follow through on weekly sessions, adapting activities to their curriculum needs and interests.
-
Recordings, songbooks, and teaching materials are provided for classroom use.
Music at home
-
Children "bring the music home" for parent/child musical play, sharing songs and activities learned in school.
-
Parents become involved through the Music Together recordings and songbooks given to each family and through special parent events at school.
-
Parents really appreciate knowing what their children are learning- and joining in on the fun!
Music building community
-
Children learn from the model of music participation set by both parents and classroom teachers.
-
Children, parents, teachers, and staff make music together as school-wide events.
-
The music experiences provide adults with a new arena for observation, evaluation, and appreciation of the child's cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development.
-
The joy of extended family music at home and in school creates a natural circle of learning that builds parent/child, parent/teacher and parent/school relationships.

With the generous support of the Allen Saylor Foundation, Music Together in Phoenix has been involved with teaching Music Together Preschool at a very exciting Head Start Preschool in downtown Phoenix. Teachers, children and parents have benefited from the extraordinanary music experiences.
Our research-based program is aligned with standards set by NAEYC and Head Start, and lend itself to the tools used to measure outcomes. Because Music Together Preschool includes a strong parent participation and parent education component, funding providers know that the program helps families to bond at home and makes parents active participants in their child's education.
