registration details. For a description of our classes, read on...
We offer a Fall, Winter and Spring term of classes (10 weeks each)
as well as a short Summer program. The sessions are non-sequential,
so families may enroll for any session, regardless of previous enrollments.
Each term we enjoy all new music (a new CD and songbook are included
in the tuition) and during the summer program families enjoy a "best
of" collection of Music Together songs.
In a Music Together® Class
A group of six to twelve children and their parents and caregivers
meet for 45 minutes each week to enjoy a variety of playful musical
activities. The Music Together teacher guides the class through
traditional and original songs and chants with a broad mix of tonalities,
meters and cultural styles. A dozen experiences are included
in each class including singing, small and large movement, instrument
play, props, dancing, improvisation and more. The approach
is fun and interactive and incorporates informal instruction, allowing
the children to engage at their developmental level. It's
a relaxed atmosphere that invites and encourages participation by
both children and adults, regardless of musical skill, talent or
training. In a Music Together class, families rediscover the
pleasure and educational value of informal, homemade musical experiences.
A Mixed-Age Format:
Infants, 1's, 2's, 3's & 4's Attend Together
Child development researchers recommend mixed-age groupings because
it fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children
enjoy observing and imitating the older ones; older children benefit
from singing to, moving with and being appreciated by the younger
ones. Each child is given the freedom to participate as he
or she chooses, without being burdened by age-specific expectations,
and siblings can attend together. The mixed-age format is
central to the Music Together approach, which is specifically designed
for early childhood - a time when children use the magical process
of play to essentially teach themselves the things they need
to learn.
