Each week in Music Together® Mixed-Age Classes at Music Together with Mrs.Tara, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them® gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time. Your teacher will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments, of course). It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place!
Get ready to have a great time with your family and others like you in class. We start class sitting on the ground singing our Hello Song. After a couple small movement songs, we get up to move around with a large movement song. Then we sit for a few more songs using musical props and our bodies to enhance the music making. We come to a highlight in class when we start our play-along. This is where we all get a few instruments/props and we jam out with a fun song! Then we close out class with a lullaby and the Good-bye Song.
You’ll take home a CD of the award-winning music used in class, along with an illustrated songbook and resources to download the music to your phone and computer. As you discover new ways to play with music all week long, you’ll be supporting your child’s music-learning and overall development---even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer.
Classes run for 3 different semsters throughout the year with weekly sessions that meet for 45 minutes. Summer mini-sessions run through the months of June and July. Sign up for class today and watch your child come alive with The Joy of Family Music®-making. We will have classes at outside at Eaton Preserve Park and online using Zoom.
Why Mixed Ages?
Child development researchers discovered that grouping children of different ages in one class encourages natural, family-style learning, so Music Together developed the Mixed-Age Music Class. In this class, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize, listen, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together.
“My husband teases me because whenever I mention Music Together to anyone, he always pipes up my next line which is 'best money we ever spent.' I truly mean it. Kudos to Ken and Lili for a program that outshines any other I have seen around.” —Kim, Princeton, NJ
