Mixed Age Classes: Newborn to 5 years old
This is the essential Music Together class, that children can attend from birth through age four enjoying all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level: singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, and or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.
Baby Classes: Newborn to 12 months
This is a specially designed Music Together class for infants up to eight-months old and their caregiver. Just for babies, this is a one-semester introduction to Music Together prior to enrolling in the mixed-age classes. The activities and materials are especially designed for parents who want to learn as much as possible about music development in infants. The music in this collection is compiled from other Music Together collections and is especially appropriate for infants who are not yet mobile.
