Ten weekly, 45-minute classes include songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play.

CLASS OFFERINGS:
MIXED AGES CLASS: This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five- and through all nine song collections. Leading psychologists endorse mixed-age groupings because they foster natural, family-style learning. The younger children learn by observing and imitating the older ones; the older children benefit from singing to, moving with and being appreciated by the 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 and exploring musical instruments. The class provides a variety of adult-child activities that are fun and offer new ways to play musically at home. Parents, grandparents, or nanny, individually or together, may accompany the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family musical experience.
INTERGENERATIONAL CLASS: We know that children of all ages benefit from our family-style atmosphere. We are thrilled to be bringing our classes to local assisted living centers where children and their families will experience Music Together classes with the 'mature' population of our community . Elderly participants will observe and join in just as your children do. We look forward to witnessing the wonderful benefits afforded to those who join these very special classes.
PAJAMA CLASS: This early evening class is perfect for a fun activity before bed. This class is open to mixed ages.
