Class Descriptions

Mixed Age Family Class

Children 0 to 5 years old. In our Mixed-Age classes, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them®® gather for fun-filled family music time. Your teacher will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions. It's so much fun you won't realize how much learning is taking place! 

You'll take home the award-winning music used in class, along with an illustrated songbook and other resources. As you discover new ways to play with music all week long, you'll be supporting your child's music-learning and overall develpment--even if you don't think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. 

In this class, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize, listen, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; preschoolers buid confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. And in the Mixed Age Family Class, siblings can attend together!

 

Rhythm Kids®

Children 4 to 8 years. For children from PreK through second grade, Rhythm Kids®® by Music Together® is the music and movement program where children explore rhythm through drumming, singing, and dancing to a combination of Music Together® songs specifically adapted for their age and new music inspired from around the world.

Rhythm Kids®® completes the early childhood music development path from birth through age 8, including music pre-litearcy. Children learn to drum, sing, and move to new rhythms, work in ensemles, conduct, and improvise. Through dymanic music games and activities, they develop skills like recognizing and playing patterns and soloing, they develop timing, coordination, listening skills, and self-expression, and they build self-confidence and social abilities.

We encourage children to bring their own drum to Rhythm Kids® each week. Don't worry, we will help you know what to get, and have some to borrow if necessary.

Babies Music Class

This class is recommended for non-mobile infants, generally birth through about 8 months of age. 

This one-semester Music Together® Babies Class was created specifically for families with non-mobile infants up to about 8 months old. You might be wondering what your newborn could possibly take away from a music class and how old they have to be before they can benefit. It's never too early to start making music! Your little one is a natural-born music-maker, ready to start learning music at birth. 

Maybe you've noticed that your baby responds when you play a song in the car or sing to soothe them. Babies are naturally musical--and you don't have to be a great singer or dancer yourself to nurture their love of music.

As in everything, you are your baby's first and best teacher. In this music class for infants, your Music Together® teacher will show you how you can support your baby's music development through simple and fun activities. You'll learn lots of musical ways to connect with your little one through music.

If your little one is already crawling, they are ready for the Mixed Age class!
