This Music Together class is for:
Children ages 0 - 5 accompanied by a caregiver(s)
Caregivers that are ready to participate and engage in music and movement - this is crucial for providing the most benefit to your littles*
Families that can commit to 8 weeks of classes in order to build a strong foundation of music eduction
Each week, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, (and the grownups who love them®) will gather at the library to make music as a community. This early childhood music class is designed to give families with children from birth through age 5 the chance to get in touch with their inner musician and connect with other families.
Playful, rich, and engaging, Music Together helps children of all ages—babies, toddlers, preschoolers - discover their inner music-maker by playing with the grownups they love. These music and movement classes also offer other important benefits. It turns out that music for children supports overall early childhood development. It forges unique connections in the brain and enhances a child’s language, cognitive, emotional, social, and physical development, as well as their disposition to learn. Simply put, music learning supports all learning!

*When you hear the phrase, "kids' music classes," you might envision a room with a teacher in front of a semi-circle of children, with a line of adults standing against the wall, lattes in hand. In reality, Music Together classes are informal, and all about family fun! In our classes, the grownups have just as much fun as the children as everyone sings, dances, and plays rhythm instruments—together! (No latte required.) And the take-home materials that every family receives help continue the fun at home.
