"We have loved music together since my son was an infant. We will continue to come as long as we can, I think it’s been amazing for his development in general as well as his love of music. I love the bonding time, he loves the familiarity of the music, playing with instruments, having free rein to walk around in a safe space, and dance parties! We love everything about the classes!

Our Program

At Music Together Family & Friends we are proud to offer the internationally acclaimed early childhood music program Music Together.®  Since 1987, Music Together has introduced millions of children, parents, and teachers around the world to the benefits of community music-making. Since 1996 we've been here in Whitehouse Station, playing, singing and making music with families in Hunterdon County!

Our Educational Approach

Music Immersion

Since children learn by watching and listening, our approach is to immerse the children in a rich musical environment full of interesting sounds, movements, rhythms, meters, and tonalities. With various kinds of instruments to play, silly things to laugh at, and lots of different models to follow, children naturally learn how to make music. 

 

Child-Centered

In Music Together® children get to respond in their own way and in their own time. There is no expectation to sit still, perform on cue or follow directions. The class environment we create is structured, but free. This creates the disposition to try new things and stimulates the learning cycle of play, discovery, practice and mastery.

Parent/Caregiver Model

A child's favorite and most influential model is an adult with whom they have a close bond- that's you! The parent-child musical interaction is key, and that is why it is called Music Together! You don't need music knowledge or skill, come prepared to be silly and have fun. ​ You'll discover new ways to play with music at home, and with the help of the songbook and recordings, support your child’s music-learning and overall development all week long.
