We are all about using play, exploration, & caregiver modeling to teach a love of music & basic music competency (singing in tune/​matching pitch & keeping a steady beat) using music from around the world AND created by Music Together developers to provide young ears with a rich variety of tonalities & rhythms. Every child is musical, and music learning supports ALL learning. Grownups have fun & are challenged, too; plus it’s an opportunity to set aside 45 minutes to focus on just one thing: making music with one’s children in a community of families doing the same!
