Music is a basic human intelligence - a way
of knowing, experiencing, and expressing.

Music
Together
is the
pioneer
in
family-style
early
childhood
music &
movement
education.
It is an
innovative,
research-based
program
that has
been
an
ongoing
leader
in
assisting
parents
in
sharing
fun,
accessible
musical
activities
with
their
children, birth
to five
years
old,
since
1987.

Most
of
us
are
born
with
enough
musical
aptitude
to
play
in
a
symphony
orchestra,
yet
many
adults
cannot
sing
anything
more
than
"Happy
Birthday",
much
less
play
an
instrument.
This
is
due
to
lack
of
experience,
not
genetics.
In
a
lively
but
relaxed
musical
environment,
children
gain
experience
through
the
joy
of
musical
play.
Music
Together
classes
are
a
way
to
promote
a
lifetime
love
of
music
in
children,
be
part
of
a
family-oriented
musical
community,
and
even
for
adults
to
reconnect
with
their
own
musical
nature. |

Most
important
is
the
fun
and
the
family
bonding! But
there
is
more.
Many
parents
do
not
have
confidence
in
their
own
music
making
abilities,
have
no
idea
what
to
do
or
how
to
do
it,
and
have
even
had
negative
feedback
as
children.
Music
Together
provides
confidence-building
knowledge
and
lots
of
ideas
for
easy,
fun
activities
that
can
be
enjoyed
at
home.
It
is
not
necessary
for
parents
to
have
wonderful
singing
voices
or
be
able
to
play
instruments,
but
it
is
absolutely
necessary
to
find
ways
to
share
music
with
their
children
if
they
wish
for
them
to
grow
up
enjoying
the
benefits
of
a
musically
enriched
life. |

There
is
a
window
of
opportunity
for
maximizing
each
child's
lifetime
musical
ability
that
begins
before
birth
and
essentially
diminishes
by
age
five.
Though
not
impossible,
it
will
never
be
as
easy
again
to
build
basic
musical
skills.
And
while
music
making
is
wonderful
for
its
own
sake,
it
is
also
known
that
children
who
play
instruments
(including
voice)
do
better
in
school,
have
higher
self-esteem,
and
fewer
social
problems.

Ideally,
to
set
up
a
child
for
mastering
the
technical
skills
of
an
instrument
and
to
even
have
the
desire
to
do
so,
music
experience
in
infancy
and
early
childhood
is
paramount.
It
is
at
this
time,
basic
competence
in
rhythm
and
tonality
can
be
laid
down
and
the
discovery
that
music
is
interesting,
fun,
and
satisfying
can
be
made.
This
makes
future
success
learning
to
play
an
instrument
much
more
likely.
By
focusing
on
the
process,
NOT
the
performance
of
these
young
children,
we
provide
them
with
a
solid
foundation
for
future
musical
choices. |

This
is
what
Music
Together
aims
to
assist
parents
in
doing! |
