Classic Mixed Age
This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.
- Four Music Together® sessions per year: Fall, Winter, Spring and Summer.
- Attend a fun-filled 45 minute class each week.
- Enjoy a structured format that includes the "Hello Song," small and large singing and movement activities, instrumental jam sessions, a quiet lullaby, and the "Goodbye Song" in each class.
- Learn through PLAY! Take advantage of freedom within the class structure for adults and children alike to explore their creativity. Try exciting new activities each week in class. Experience songs in fresh ways each week.
- Enrich and extend classroom musical play through use of the songbook and CDs. The songs experienced in class are included in take-home family materials each session. There are nine main Music Together® curriculum sets to rotate over a three year period, two special collections for babies, and three summer compilations.
- Become an integral part of the process. The 6-12 families who form each class become a close group, working together to provide the very best musical environment for their children.
Watch as children soak up the musical information — then share their delight as they start to become music-makers at home and with the group!
