Music Together® is based on the premise that all children are inherently musical. Our goal is to nurture your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement during the early childhood years when, as with language learning, musical aptitude is at the critical stage of most rapid growth.
One of the delights of becoming involved in our program is discovering or re-discovering your own relationship to music. You may find that you love to sing, or you may discover that the classes provide you with just the opportunity you need to get out an old instrument you haven't played in years.
