Since 1987, Music Together has introduced millions of children, parents, and caregivers around the world to the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. From babyhood though kindergarten, our research-based classes nurture each child's natural musicality in a playful, musically rich learning environment. Activities are designed to be informal and non-performance oriented musical experiences, developmentally appropriate for children and easily accessible to parents and caregivers, regardless of their own musical ability.
Music Together is based on the premise that all children are musical and that parents are crucial to the process of activating and nurturing their child's musical development. Just like language development, the early years are critical for developing basic music competence.
Our classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement and provide a strong foundation for future instruction in dance or instrument study. Best of all, they're fun!
