Did you know that all children are musical?
Have you ever wondered what you can do to nurture the musical growth of your child, regardless of you own musical ability?
Experience Music Together® and find out how important--and how fun--your role can be!
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.
In the years before recorded music many people entertained themselves by making their own music. Singing songs and playing music together was as common as having family dinner. Children learned to participate in the fun by watching and listening to Mom and Dad, Aunts and Uncles, Grandmas and Granddads, neighbors and friends, making music simply for their enjoyment.
Times have changed. Today we have a wealth of ways to consume music; compact discs, radio, music television, ipods, are just a few. While these are wonderful forms of entertainment there is no substitution for actually participating in the creating of music. This is especially true for children because children learn by observing those who love them and by doing. With this in mind, our classes include parent or caregiver involvement and a variety of engaging activities.
Music Together exposes children to a rich assortment of music that they would not ordinarily hear. The development of basic music competency is encouraged by introducing the building blocks of music through tonal and rhythm pattern play. Sharing this class with your child is a wonderful way to bond and create lifetime memories, as well as meet other people.
Music Together® Philosophy
The Music Together® program encourages your child's innate ability to sing in tune, create rhythms and participate in music making with joy and confidence. You, the parent or caregiver's participation, regardless of your own musical background, is inspirational for children to develop musically.
Musical participation is not based on talent, but on exposure and experience at a young age. Exposure at a young age brings confidence with music throughout life. Enrichment means starting musical experience at birth.
Giving children and parents access to music offers the culture as a whole an opportunity to be more attuned to and appreciative of music and the arts in general.
