Bringing Music Home
Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, first and second graders, 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 model
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.

Music Together is committed to
helping families, caregivers, and early childhood professionals
rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal
music experiences. All our teachers have successfully completed Music
Together’s training program. Music Together applies the latest research
in early childhood music development to the program. A curriculum
pioneer since 1987.
Music Together was founded
with the goal of providing the highest quality music and movement
experiences to as many young children as possible, involving their
parents, primary caregivers and early childhood professionals in the
educational process. Music Together is therefore dedicated to the
thorough and professional support of Music Together licensees and
teachers and their work with children and families. This support
includes training, business mentoring, networking services, national and
regional promotion, customer referrals, business technology, ongoing
research and development, the production of audio, video and print
materials, and the distribution of musical instruments and related
products.
Our mission is:
To provide the highest quality music and movement experiences to as many young children as possible and to involve their parents and other adult caregivers, including early childhood professionals.
Basic Principles of the Music Together Philosophy
I. All children are musical.
II. Therefore, all children can achieve basic music competence, which we have defined as the ability to sing in tune and move with accurate rhythm.
III.The participation and modeling of parents and caregivers, regardless of their musical ability, is essential to a child's musical growth.
IV. This growth is best achieved in a playful, developmentally appropriate, non-performance-oriented learning environment that is musically rich yet immediately accessible to the child's-and the adult's!-participation.
