Classes are open to children ages birth through age 5 with a parent or caregiver, and parents are described as their child’s most important music teacher in class. Children are never required to sit in the circle or expected to conform to an adult’s idea of participation in Music Together classes.

Families may take the Music Together songs anywhere with the “Hello Everybody” app, which is available for iPhone/iPad or Android. The app allows users to stream or download all Music Together songs, show or hide on-screen lyrics, adjust or turn off vocals, record karaoke using the device’s camera, and flip through the Singalong Storybook. As part of the global Music Together family, participating families have access to the Family Music Zone on the Music Together Worldwide website.
