CLASS
DESCRIPTIONS
Mixed
Age Classes(Newborn
- 4with Adults)
Adults,
regardless of musical ability, can help create an environment that helps
children achieve basic music competence. Children of mixed ages participate
at their own level by singing, moving, chanting, listening, and exploring
musical instruments.Educators
have long considered mixed age groupings to be beneficial, and the Music
Together program is designed with this in mind. This creates a family-like
atmosphere where siblings can attend together (babies 8 months and younger
are free with a registered sibling) and allows each child the freedom to
participate as he or she chooses without being burdened by age-specific
expectations. Each child participates at his or her own level. Younger
children enjoy watching and imitating the older ones and older ones learn
by leading the younger ones. Any caregiver can bring the child or children
- nanny, grandarent, or parents. Siblings
over 8 months pay a reduced fee.
4s/5s
Class
(with Adults)
These
classes are designed especially for older students who have been in Music
Together for several semesters and are “ready for something a little different.”
Enrollment is at the discretion of the director.
Infants Class
Every child's music development benefits from early exposure to music
and movement. Infants express their musical development differently from
older children, and their parents often appreciate having information specific
to infants' musical development. This class serves as a one-trimester introduction
to the Music Together program for infants under 9 months old. Meet other
parents of newborns and learn some fascinating music activities you can
recreate at home with your baby. Infants also benefit from mixed-age classes,
if one of them fits better into your schedule.
