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. Thousands of parents have experienced this musical awakening and have found - or rediscovered - great satisfaction and joy in making music with their children.

Hilary Duff, the pop world's favorite girl-next-door, will bring her "Still Most Wanted Tour" to the Peoria Civic Center Arena on Tuesday, August 16, 2005, at 7 p.m.

 Hilary is touring in support of her recently released self-titled album, "Hilary Duff," and her debut solo album, "Metamorphosis." Tickets are $45, not including service charges, and are on sale now through the Peoria Civic Center Box Office, all Ticketmaster outlets, charge by phone at 309-676-8700 or online at ticketmaster.com. A triple-threat talent, 17-year-old Hilary has become a music, film and television phenomenon thanks to an unbroken string of hits that began with her starring role in the Disney Channel Original Series "Lizzie McGuire," the record-breaking No. 1 show in its timeslot. Hilary made her singing debut on that hit sitcom, lending her fresh vocals and sunny style to "I Can't Wait" from the RIAA-certified platinum "Lizzie McGuire Television Soundtrack." In her motion picture debut, Hilary co-starred with Frankie Muniz in 2003's action-adventure hit "Agent Cody Banks." Next came singing and starring roles in "The Lizzie McGuire Movie," in which Hilary played an American tourist mistaken for a huge singing star. Proving that life imitates art, Hilary's singing career has exploded on Top 40 radio, MTV and Top 200 retail charts. "Metamorphosis" - her amazingly appealing debut solo album of 13 songs - shipped well in excess of gold with 800,000 copies in August 2003 and charted No. 2 on the Billboard 200 its first week of release.

Every Tuesday is Open Mic Night at Martinis On Water!  Paul Wettle and the Jazz Sensation welcome you onto the stage!
