Why should my child participate in an early childhood music class?

Music Together®

classes are based on the belief that music expression is as much a basic life skill as walking and talking, and that ALL children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence and pleasure in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.  

By emphasizing actual musical experiences rather than concepts about music, we introduce children to the pleasures of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or television.  Integral to children’s musical development is the active participation of parents and caregivers

Up to ten children, infants to age seven, meet once a week for 45 minutes to experience new songs, chants, small and large motor movement activities, and instrument jam sessions.  Children and adults have many opportunities to create and play, experiencing improvisation at the most joyous and fundamental level.

Children may or may not participate in class as they choose and are given the freedom to respond in their own way, according to their own developmental level and temperament.  The children learn in class by listening, observing, feeling their parent’s movement, and playing and experimenting themselves.  This learning is then reinforced at home by parent/child music interaction during your family's daily activities.

Regardless of your background in music, you can give your child a love of music.  Parent enjoyment, not musical skill, is the single most important factor in fostering a love of music-making in children.  Do something wonderful for yourself and your child  and join us for some family music fun!
