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.
