village harvest dances, Korean lullabies, Cuban rain
forest songs, and much much more. You'll also find
drums of all sorts, bells, triangles, flutes, shakers,
scrapers, kitchen instruments, scarves, stretchy dancing
ribbons - instruments galore!

What is Music Together?
Music Together is an internationally recognized early
childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers,
kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First
offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept
of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early
childhood music curriculum 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 committed to helping families,
caregivers, and early childhood professionals rediscover
the pleasure and educational value of informal music
experiences. All our teachers have successfully completed
Music Together’s training program. Music Together
applies the latest research in early childhood music
development to the program from their lab school in
Princeton, NJ. They are a curriculum pioneer since
1987.
Music Together classes throughout the East Bay are
full and have waiting lists. We are thrilled to be
able to offer them in our group lesson area. Check
