Music Together Mixed Age
Our primary teaching method is to mix ages with children newborn to 5 years in the same class. This creates a unique atmosphere where siblings can attend together. Babies 8 months and younger are free with a registered sibling. Our class allows each child the freedom to participate as he or she chooses without being burdened by age-specific expectations. Siblings over 8 months pay a reduced fee. Sing, dance, laugh, play, and get silly with us in this unique class setting! Materials include two CDs, a beautifully illustrated songbook, and a parent's guide. Classes meet for 45 minutes.
Music Together Babies
Our mixed-age format suits even the youngest infant, but we have added a special Babies Class as an introduction to Music Together for infants 8 months and younger. Begin to identify learning styles, learn sounding techniques, and nurture your child's touch and movement preferences. Our playful musical activities can delight, soothe, and energize young and old alike. Come sing, dance, laugh, play, and meet other babies and their families! Materials include two CDs, a beautifully illustrated songbook, and a parent's guide. Classes meet for 45 minutes.
