Music Together® was the first early childhood music program to offer music classes for mixed ages. Child development researchers have known for a long time that the natural, family-style environment of mixed-age classes are the best way for young children to learn. In our experience, it works! In Mixed-Age classes, the older children love to show what they know, and the younger ones love to watch and imitate. The relaxed, no-pressure environment lets all kids learn at their own pace. Music Together is music and movement for babies, toddlers, preschoolers. . . and the grownups who love them®
Rhythm Kids® - music, movement, and drumming classes for children ages 5-8. (May be suitable for some 4 yr olds). Children must be accompanied by an adult.
