Music Together® is the internationally recognized music and movement program for children from birth through age 7–and the grownups who love them„¢. Beloved by millions of children, parents, and early childhood educators for 25 years, Music Together connects families across the globe as they express and explore the basic human instinct for making music!

Classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical and can learn to sing in tune and keep a beat, provided that their early environment supports such learning. The program also strongly emphasizes adult participation! Regardless of your own musical ability you can learn to nurture and enhance your child’s musical development as well as experience the joy so many parents and caregivers feel while singing and dancing with other families. Even if you don’t think you are “especially musical,” Heartsong’s talented and highly trained teachers create a relaxed and playful environment that will help you feel comfortable discovering your own “inner musician!” And most adults say they grow musically, too, right along with their child!

Some benefits you can expect to receive from attending Heartsong’s Music Together classes:

• Music Together provides children with all of the ingredients for music learning. It offers them a rich repertoire to actively explore, along with the pleasure and support of being with loved ones in a music-making community.

• Classes provide a developmentally appropriate environment for music learning that is nurturing and non-performance oriented.

• Music learning supports all learning®! Your child will experience growth in his social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development as well as his language development, confidence, self-esteem, and creative expression!

• Music Together honors all developmental stages and learning styles.

• You and your child will spend quality time together and bond while having fun being playful, silly, and creative.

• You will receive ideas on how to make music a part of daily life.

• Classes provide an opportunity for immersion in live singing, movement, and instrument play and exposure to a variety of music, tonalities, meters, and rhythms.

• The entire family is included! Parents, grandparents, and siblings all make music together in the same class!

• You will connect with a wonderful community of families and both you and your child can meet new friends.

• Music Together is a research-based music education program that supports your child’s music development from birth through age 7.
