Why Music Together® Feels Different
It starts with our music—playful and inviting for children, but with the musical richness, variety, and artistry that keep grownups engaged. With songs in many styles, rhythms, tonalities, and musical traditions—and parents who are genuinely drawn into the music—children experience music as something fun and deeply connected to the people they love.
In Class
For ages 0-5 years, each 45-minute Music Together class includes singing, creative movement, rhythm and instrument play. Over the course of each session you will explore and experiment with rhythm sticks, egg shakers, resonator bells, gathering drums and more. The teacher leads the class through musical moments that range from big and energetic to quiet and tender. Everyone is free to respond in their own way. Some children jump in with both feet, while others watch and listen from a caregiver's lap or find their way into the music as they move around the room.
At Home
And because you take the music and songbook home with you, the songs become the soundtrack of family life —bedtime, car rides, kitchen dance parties, silly moments, hard moments, and the ordinary routines that shape family life. With the combination of music in class and at home, children begin to understand that music is not just something they hear from a speaker or a teacher. It is something they can make with their own bodies, voices, ideas — and with friends and family. That’s when you really start to see it come together—the new skills, expressiveness, and a 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 families around the world to the benefits of community music-making.
It may feel like you're simply having fun together. That's by design. Rooted in research, every song, activity, and interaction has a purpose, and children experience it how they learn best- through play with the grownups they love.
Why our Approach Works
Music Immersion
Child Centered
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.
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.
