Imagine . . . a class for you and your young child where there are interesting sounds and movements, instruments to play, other children to watch, silly things to laugh at, an inviting teacher to follow, and great music! This is Music Together.
Music is a basic life skill, like language, and all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate confidently in music-making when given a supportive music environment. How is this possible? Young children learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interacting with older role models.
We use informal instruction, with children participating as they choose (or not) according to their developmental level. The active participation of adults -parents and/or caregivers- as role models, is essential in class. We're here to help children and their grownups joyfully share songs, rhymes, movement, and instrument play together, both in music class and in their daily lives, to create a strong musical foundation.
Wiggling, singing, and laughing with your child is so much fun, it's easy to forget how much learning is taking place! Our research-based curriculum not only develops music skills, it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and confidence while also supporting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development- all benefits which build over time.
We offer two class types: Mixed Age Family Classes (ages 0-5 years), and Babies Only (ages 0-7 months) -Babies are welcome in any class, and our Mixed Age model allows siblings to attend together! Please browse our website for the schedule of classes, to register, for more info, or to contact us. We hope to sing with you soon, and watch your children flourish!
We offer classes at our dedicated studio in Santa Rosa, and also at the Healdsburg Community Center.
