The learning capacity of very young children is simply astounding! In the first few years of life, learning is a child's job and it is accomplished through play. With the Music Together approach, children have fun and become engaged in class activities using their own particular learning style: quietly observing and absorbing, kinetically moving their whole bodies around the room (often while the rest of us are sitting down!), experimenting with vocal sounds, imitating the teacher's movements, and so on. You should expect your child to participate in his or her own unique way, free from any pressure to perform. Over time, you will witness your child moving through the different stages of tonal and rhythmic development, integrating music-making into everyday life and eventually achieving basic music competence (the ability to sing in tune with accurate rhythm.)
Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.
