Music Together®

Music Together is an internationally acclaimed 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.

Classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a steady beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our cultures. By emphasizing actual music experiences rather than concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasures of making music. 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.

Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers and early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences. All of our teachers have successfully completed Music Together's training program and are continually educated by the Center for Music and Young Children of Princeton, NJ. A curriculum pioneer since 1987, Music Together applies the latest research in early childhood music development to the program.

Our Music Together semester includes at least ten weekly classes in the Fall, Winter and Spring, six in the Summer. Each 45-minute class includes songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play. These activities are presented as informal, non-performance-oriented, developmentally appropriate musical experiences which are easy and fun for parents to learn regardless of their level of music ability. 2 CDs and a Songbook are included!
