What Our Families Are Saying

At Music Together of Greater Portland, the joy is real, and it's contagious! From moms and dads to grandparents and nannies, our community comes together each week to sing, dance, and make lasting memories. But don’t just take our word for it. Hear what the grown-ups who join us every week have to say about how music has made a difference in their children's lives.

From a First-Time Mom:

"When I first signed up for Music Together^®, my son was barely 6 months old. I wasn’t sure how much he’d get out of it but I was amazed by how much he engaged. Now at 18 months, he recognizes the songs at home, taps along with rhythm sticks, and has started dancing on his own. It’s been beautiful to watch him connect with music and other little ones."
 

— Megan, mom to Jack (18 months)

From a Grandmother:
 

"As a grandmother, I cherish any time I get with my grandkids, and Music Together makes that time so special. Watching my granddaughter dance with scarves and play the drums is just priceless. It's fun, it's bonding, and it’s something we both genuinely look forward to each week."
 

— Judy, grandmother to Lila (2)

From a Nanny:
 

"I bring the two kids I nanny to Music Together every Thursday, and it's the highlight of our week. The classes are structured but playful, and Miss Pauline is so warm and welcoming. It’s a great mix of movement, music, and social time—and the kids never want to leave!"
 

— Lena, nanny to Cameron (4) and Ben (2)

From a Dad:

"I take my son to Music Together every week. We sing, we stomp, we shake maracas—it’s total joy. I wasn’t expecting to love it as much as I do, but it’s become this special time where we get to connect without distractions. He’s learning rhythm and connecting with children his age, and I’m just so grateful we get to experience it together."
 

— Matt, dad to Julian (2)
