For hundreds of thousands of families worldwide, Music Together^® is children and their grownups joyfully sharing songs, rhymes, movement, and instrument play, both in music class and in their daily lives. A pioneer in early childhood music and movement education, Music Together offers classes for children from birth through kindergarten, in which parents and caregivers actively participate.

All children are sounders and movers, and their natural aptitude for music blossoms in a sufficiently rich music environment. In fact, when given a supportive music environment, children learn to sing and dance as naturally as they learn to walk and talk.

How is this possible? Children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly. They teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through every interaction with adults and older children. The family-like setting of Music Together's mixed-age classes enables siblings to attend together, creating an ideal learning environment where infants, toddlers, and preschoolers can freely participate at their own levels.

Music Learning Supports All Learning^®

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. Because these benefits build over time, children enjoy the fullest growth in each of these areas when they participate as consistently as possible up through kindergarten.

Your Role Is Essential

Young children learn through play and experimentation and by watching and listening to the grownups they love. Setting an example as an enthusiastic participator in music activities is the best thing any parent or caregiver can do to help set a child on the road to a lifelong love of music. Parents don't need to have music skills—they just need a desire to play and have fun with their children! Our teachers are specially trained to create a safe atmosphere so you can happily join in, experiment, or even get silly—and feel closer to your child while doing so.

Music Together Mixed Age Family Classes

• Fully trained, registered Music Together teachers lead groups of six to twelve children and their parents or caregivers (nannies, babysitters, grandparents, or relatives) in forty-five minutes of music and movement experiences.
• Each weekly class offers a dozen songs and rhythmic rhymes, including fingerplays, small- and large-movement activities, and instrument play.
• Children and their adults have opportunities to create and improvise—making up new words to songs, offering movement ideas, making silly sounds, and sharing musical ideas from the family's play at home.
• The relaxed, playful, non-performance-oriented classroom setting respects and supports the unique learning styles, developmental levels, and temperaments of all participants, creating a strong sense of community.
• Families receive 1 CD each semester and online access to music —along with an illustrated songbook that’s filled with music-making ideas for spontaneous music play beyond the weekly classes.

Rhythm Kids^® Classes…ages 5 to 8 (K - 2nd grade)

Adults are welcome to stay and play whenever they are able!

Our interactive Rhythm Kids^® classes tap into how big kids are wired to learn. Musical games, rhythm pattern play, drumming, and more engage their creativity--and inspire them to explore their musicality in new ways. During each weekly, high-energy class, kids have a blast singing, dancing, and jamming to rhythms and tunes inspired by music traditions around the world. Their specially trained teachers lead activities that get students up and moving as they learn to compose, choreograph, and conduct. Rhythm Kids^® carries on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development. 

When your child is young, music-making has tremendous power to enhance their love of music and the joy it brings, and also their overall development. Because music integrates mind, body, and emotions, music learning supports many other kinds of learning.

The music and movement activities that are part of each Rhythm Kids^® class naturally support several key developmental areas, including executive function, emerging math skills, and leadership. By the end of the semester, your Rhythm Kid will be proud to show off all the new skills they've mastered!

Adults are welcome and encouraged to attend class with their child whenever they can. This way, they experience the Rhythm Kids^® activities and can support their child's musical development and continue the musical activities and their child's musical growth throughout the week.
