WHAT ARE Music Together^® CLASSES LIKE?
Classes are made up of 6 to 12 children each child accompanied by a parent of caregiver.

Ten weekly, 45-minute classes include songs, rhythm chants, movement, and instrument play. These activities are presented as informal, non-performance-oriented musical experiences--developmentally appropriate for children and easy for parents and caregivers--regardless of their own musical ability. two professionally recorded CDs (one for home and one for the car!) and a songbook with the current session's music selections are included!

The songs are presented through a variety of musical activities which incorporate....
-- Fun playful, interactive ways to focus on tonal and rhythmic elements of music
-- Small and large movement
-- Free, expressive dance
-- Instrumental accompaniment (egg shakers, jingle bells, sticks, rhythm instruments)
-- Use of props (scarves, balls, etc.)
-- Opportunities for improvisation by children as well as parents

Classes have a characteristic flow which allows for various ages to all participate and make Music Together, each at his own level. Certain rituals, such as the Hello Song at the beginning, and the sequence of Instrumental Jam Session, Lullaby, and Goodbye Song, at the end of class, help children internally pace their involvement and aid in classroom management.

Parent education during class will increase your understanding of the relevance of class activities to childhood music development.

Music Together parents discover what a powerful ROLE MODEL they are to their child, just by having fun with the music themselves. In doing so, they often find that their own musicality flourishes as well.
