Music Together's research-based early childhood music program is for children from birth through age 5. Each class is an interactive music-making experience for little ones and their grownups— from playful free movement to full-on instrument jams.
Grownups follow the teacher’s lead— so important as young children are wired to respond best to their primary caregivers— and little ones participate at their own level: singing, moving, listening, watching, or exploring instruments. Babies watch the big kids who show off their developing musical skills. It’s magical to watch the interactions in a Mixed Age class!
Our songs are a mix of original and traditional tunes from a variety of genres and styles—folk, blues, rock, jazz, classical, and world music—and always include unusual tonalities and meters to help build a solid musical foundation for our children. Each family receives a songbook and download code for the mobile app to bring the music home and make it a part of everyday life and routines.
At Music Together, we know that children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interaction with adults and older children. The family-like setting of Music Together classes creates an ideal learning environment. And it’s all based in research in early childhood and music development.

You are your child’s most important music teacher right now! Young children learn through play and experimentation and by watching and listening to the grownups they love. Setting an example as an enthusiastic participator in music activities is the best thing any parent or caregiver can do to help set a child on the road to a lifelong love of music. Parents don't need to have music skills—they just need a desire to play and have fun with their children! Our teachers are specially trained to create a safe atmosphere so you can happily join in, experiment, or even get silly—and feel closer to your child while doing so.
Wiggling, singing, and laughing with your child is so much fun, it's easy to forget how much learning is taking place! Our research-based curriculum not only develops music skills, it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and confidence while also supporting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Because these benefits build over time, children enjoy the fullest growth in each of these areas when they participate as consistently as possible up through kindergarten.
