Child development researchers recommend mixed-age groupings because it fosters natural, family-style learning.  Younger children enjoy observing and imitating the older ones; older children benefit from singing to, moving with and being appreciated by the younger ones.  Each child is given the freedom to participate as they choose, without being burdened by age-specific expectations, and siblings can attend together.  The mixed-age format is central to the Music Together^® approach, which is specifically designed for early childhood - a time when children use the magical process of play to essentially teach themselves the things they need to learn.

In our classes, a group of children and their parents or caregivers enjoy a variety of playful musical activities.  The Music Together expert teacher guides the class through traditional and original songs and chants with a broad mix of tonalities, meters and cultural styles.  

Activities include singing, finger & lap songs, instrument play, dancing, improvisation and more.  The approach is fun and interactive and incorporates informal instruction, allowing the children to engage at their developmental level.  It's a relaxed atmosphere that invites and encourages participation by both children and adults, regardless of musical skill, talent or training.

In a Music Together class, families rediscover the pleasure and value of community and informal, homemade musical experiences.
