Infants through age 5:  This is the essential Music Together^® class; one that a child may attend from birth through kindergarten through all nine collections.  Younger children enjoy and benefit by watching and imitating the older ones; older children learn by leading the younger ones; and parents enjoy coming together for music as a family. Each child participates at his or her own developmental level: singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching and exploring musical instruments. 
 

This class is appropriate and fun for both families with some Spanish language spoken, as well as families with absolutely no Spanish speaking experience. 

Enroll in Music Together con Español and try algo nuevo - something new!  Music Together con Español is a bilingual English/Spanish version of the Music Together mixed-age class you know and love.  The songs have been recorded in a mixture of English and Spanish, which you'll take home on a CD and also be able to access online.  And, in addition to your weekly classes, and the bilingual recording, you'll receive the new English-language illustrated songbook, a booklet with the Spanish lyrics, and a family newsletter with more at-home music-making idea that can hacer que cada día sea más divertido-make every day more fun!

Rhythm Kids^® is the next musical step for your child (ages 4.5 to 8) with a parent or caregiver.  Each week we drum, sing, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games.  Rhythm Kids^® guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they:

• make up their own drumming patterns
• invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.);
• create movement ideas for songs;
• and even take a drum solo!

Rhythm Kids^® follows through on the Music Together vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight.

Classes include:

• Weekly Zoom class and/or online classes
• Animal Collection Songbook and 2 CD's each semester
• Access to online drum-play videos and other material

Your child will:

• Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song
• Develop basic rhythm skills, like keeping the beat, improvising, ensemble play, and soloing
• Learn to create, cooperate, and express themselves musically

Rhythm Kids^® students are required to purchase a djembe for children to use at home and to bring to class each week. Drums can be purchased by contacting the office.  Just add hands!
