What
is Music Together®?
Music Together is an internationally
recognized early childhood music program for infants,
toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First
offered to the
public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of research-based, developmentally appropriate early
childhood music curiculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on
the
recognition that all children are musical. All children
can learn to
sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music
of our
culture, provided that their early environment supports such
learning. By emphasizing actual
music experiences rather than concepts
about music, Music Together introduces children to
the pleasures of
making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV.
Central to the Music Together approach
is
that young children learn best from the powerful
role model of
parents/caregivers who are actively making music. The program brings
families
together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family
participation in spontaneous
musical activity at home within the context of daily life.
Music Together is commited to helping
families, caregivers, and early childhood
professionals rediscover the
pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences.
All our
teachers have successfully completed the Music Together training program. Music
Together applies the latest research in early childhood
music development to the program.
