Welcome!    

 

 

Did you know all children are musical?
Have you ever wondered what you can do to nurture the musical growth
of your child, regardless of your own musical ability?

Experience Music Together and find out how important--and how fun--your role can be!
Each class includes songs, rhythmic rhymes, 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.

Our Music Together classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music
and movement.
We'll help you provide your child with the basic musical skills
needed to enjoy school and social musical activities, and to study an instrument
should he or she choose to do so.

Music is the one art we all have inside. We may not be able to play
an instrument, but we can sing along or clap or tap our feet.
Have you ever seen a baby bouncing up and down in the crib
in time to some music? When you think of it, some of that baby's
first messages from his or her parents may have been lullabies, or at
least the music of their speaking voices. All of us have had the
experience of hearing a tune from childhood and having that
melody evoke a memory or a feeling.
The music  we hear early on tends to stay with us all our lives.
- Mr. Fred Rogers
From the book "The World According to Fred Rogers"
