All
Children are Musical!
  The
ability to sing, to dance, to express oneself musically is a
wonderful part of being human. Before recorded music, many
homes had pianos, guitars, or drums and people knew how to play
them! Family gatherings, special moments and daily routines
were frequently accompanied by homemade music, and children learned
the basics of singing and dancing naturally - by watching their
parents and family members and joining in the fun.
Times have changed. We are now more likely to be consumers of
music than active participants, and many children are growing up
without the early musical experiences they need to learn to sing in
tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence and pleasure in
the music of our culture.
Music Together is an early childhood music and movement program that
helps children develop their natural musical abilities by providing
a rich, stimulating musical environment during the critical period
between birth and four years. Through exciting weekly classes,
quality supporting materials and parent involvement, Music Together
inspires families to bring music-making back into daily life, giving
children the foundation for a lifetime of musical expression and
enjoyment.
An innovator in the field, Music Together began as an educational project of the Center for
Music and Young Children in Princeton, NJ. It pioneered the concept of a research-based,
developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that
strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement. It is now
being taught nationwide.
