Music Together®

Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants, toddlers,
preschoolers, kindergartners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987,
it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music
curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.

Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn
to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that
their early environment supports such learning. By emphasizing actual music experiences rather than
concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of
passively receiving it from CDs or TV.

Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn best from the powerful role models
of parents/caregivers who are actively making music. The program brings families together by providing
a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous
musical activity at home within the context of daily life.

Just a reminder to all that our 7-week Music Together® summer session runs June 27-August 15 and takes place Wednesday evenings from 6:15 – 7 p.m. with certified Music Together® instructor, Allison Ballard.  Classes are held at the Fort Wayne Dance Collective in the Tyler Studio. There will be no class July 4 in honor of Independence Day, however this class will be made up on August 15.
