Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners 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.
Business Review
"I don't have ANYTHING negative to say! This has been a fantastic way for me to spend very high-quality time with my granddaughter. Since I already knew a lot about music and was comfortable singing in parts, I didn't learn as much as some, but it was lots of fun and occasionally challenging anyway." -Vivian S."Sing and Swing has been a wonderful experience for us. It has been great to see Trevor's musical skills grow. Plus I really enjoy the class, too!" -Jill M.
"We loved class. My son loved going to class and he LOVES listening to the CD in the car. His favorite part was using the instruments. I am really enjoying hearing him trying to sing along with the songs that have no words now. It is tricky and I hear him trying to figure it out." -Niki R.
"My daughter and I have loved the classes, and it has been amazing to watch her grow musically. She started classes as a baby, and just sat and took it all in. Now she is 2, and she knows all the songs (although she does all her singing at home), and loves to dance and play instruments. My husband has started to come to the classes too, with our new baby, and he also has a great time. It's such a fun way to bond with our girls and enjoy them learning and playing at the same time! -Colleen G.
"This has been a great class for my son. Because of this class he loves music and becomes very happy anytime he hears it on the TV or radio." -Jennifer R.
"We love Music Together! It has built a great passion for our daughter's musical interest. We believe early musical integration supports strong cognitive and physical development. It has also brought a common interest and activity to our family." -Lola W.
"I loved every moment of the class at least as much as my son Declan (17mos old) did. We listen to the CD all the time at home and he dances and sings along." -Mary W.
"Jenny and the class are awesome. We drive 45 minutes from Strongsville to Rocky River for class with her. We have been attending this class for a year now and my wife, daughter, and I all look forward to Saturday morning classes together." -Greg M.
"We absolutely love the program! It is amazing to me that even my 13-month old recognizes the songs and starts dancing when she hears the music." -Kristen M.
"This class has always been a fruitful and fun experience for my two children. They look forward to the class all week. Jenny has always been engaging and supportive to the kids." -Jason L.
