This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend
from birth through age four through all nine song collections. This
basic class follows the recommendations of child development
researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters
natural, family-style learning. 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 level in singing,
moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical
instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the
children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music
experience.
