At
Music Together, we understand the importance of music in early
childhood—from birth, in fact. Because the truth is, most people are
born with enough music aptitude to play in a symphony orchestra when
they are adults, if they choose. But first we must learn how to "speak
music"—to take the musical instrument we all have, ourselves, developing
that musical capacity from a very young age. The sounds we make, our
movements, our rhythms—these are the building blocks of music and of
early childhood learning. And that's what Music Together is all about.
Music is more than instruments and voices. It's more than rhythm and
movement. Music is a powerful force that can inspire, create community,
and build family bonds. And it can be life-changing to develop our inner
music-maker as early as possible.
Internationally Recognized Music Program
Music Together is an internationally recognized music program for
children from birth through age 7—and the grownups who love them.
Parents, primary caregivers, early childhood professionals—everyone is
involved in the educational process. First offered to the public in
1987, we've always been pioneers in the field of early childhood music
with truly innovative, high-quality music education and outreach
programs that redefine what musical means. We're research-based, so we
know our stuff and we're good at what we do. But we're also down to
earth, accessible, and all about having a good time. It's a balance that
makes us both serious and fun. What can we say? We're serious about
having fun!

At the core of the Music Together approach is the idea that young
children learn best from the powerful role models of parents/caregivers
who are actively making music. Our program brings families together by
providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and then
facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at
home in daily life—which is so important to music development and early
childhood learning. It's based on the recognition that, in a supportive
environment, children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and
confidently participate in the music of their culture. Music Together
creates that environment! By emphasizing actual music-making
experiences, we introduce children to the pleasures of producing music
instead of passively consuming it from iTunes or TV. We're very
high-touch. Face to face, heart to heart, voice to voice—for a truly
bonding and enriching experience.
