More than most people realize. Babies are listening, watching, feeling rhythm, responding to voices, and absorbing patterns from birth. In a Babies class, your baby experiences music through your voice, movement, touch, facial expressions, and emotional connection. These early experiences support bonding, communication, listening, early brain development, and musical development.
You can start any time after birth. Music Together Babies classes are designed for infants from birth through 8 months. Starting early gives you practical tools for bonding, soothing, playing, and communicating through music during your baby’s first months.
Not at all. Your baby does not need a perfect voice; your baby needs your voice. Babies are especially tuned in to the voices of the people who love them. In class, you’ll learn easy ways to sing, chant, move, and play musically with your baby, even if you do not think of yourself as musical.
Yes. Music Together Babies classes use the same rich Music Together music but the class is designed especially for infants and new parents. The pace, activities, and parent education are focused on babies’ earliest musical responses and on helping caregivers bring music into everyday routines. Mixed-age classes are also wonderful for babies, and if you have an older sibling they can come together, but the Babies class gives extra support for this very early stage.
The one-semester Music Together Babies Class was created especially for families with infants under nine months old. That’s right: It’s never too early to start our music classes!
Maybe you’ve noticed that your baby responds when you play a song in the car or sing to soothe him. Babies are naturally musical—and you don’t have to be a great singer or dancer yourself to nurture their love of music. In this music class for babies, your Music Together teacher will show you how you can support your baby’s music development through simple and fun activities. You’ll learn lots of musical ways to connect with your little one through music, and you’ll bond with the other new parents in your class, too.
[SAMPLE] “My daughter was a colicky baby who was difficult to soothe. Although she was held, rocked, crooned, and sung to constantly, nothing seemed to help . . . until the 'Hello Song' entered our lives. The 'Hello Song' could immediately stop crying spells, even if just for a short time, and other songs from the Tambourine collection had a similar effect! We were immediately hooked!” —Nicole Y., Long Island, NY
