Welcome to a lifetime of music!
This is the essential Music Together®® class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five—and through all nine song collections. The family class follows the recommendations of child development researchers, grouping children of a variety of ages in one class. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together.
Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments. We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience, and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class.
Each semester includes:
- Weekly 45-minute classes teaching a new song collection every fall, winter and spring, and summer.
- New CDs each semester with the songs, rhythm chants, "play-alongs," tonal and rhythm patterns used in class.
- A download code to access all your music digitally.
- Beautifully illustrated songbook with family activities to enjoy at home.
- Parent education resources and online resources.
- In the event that we are unable to meet in person, class will be rescheduled.
Music Together rotates through 9 song collections over a 3-year period, so you and your child learn new songs every semester. With songs from a wide variety of musical traditions, and in several languages, you are sure to find a favorite song in each exciting collection!
Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids® guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they:
-
make up their own drumming patterns
-
invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.)
-
create movement ideas for songs
Rhythm Kids® carries on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight. Tuition includes:
Children will:
-
Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song
-
Develop basic rhythm skills, like keeping beat, improvising, ensemble play, and soloing
-
Learn to create, cooperate, and express themselves musically
