Mixed-age

This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend from birth through age four through 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 in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.

Big Kids Music Together™ Class

“Big Kids Music Together™” is a new 60-minute class geared to the interests and social nature of children ages 5, 6, and 7. (To attend the Bid Kids class, your child must be 5 years of age by the start of the semester you wish to attend.) Game songs, folk dances, jam sessions, dramatic play, and more structured work in rhythm and tonality will be included. The class will use the current song collection and additional materials. Learn how to support your child musically as he or she develops interests and skills in singing, playing instruments, taking dramatic roles, creating, and dancing.

Please note: Younger siblings are not developmentally ready for the structure of these classes; therefore, except for babies eight months and younger, only children in the specified age range and their adults may attend these classes. For more information, call (707) 544-5747.
