MUSIC TOGETHER FAMILY CLASSMusic Together recognizes that all children are musical and that every child needs a stimulating, supportive music environment to achieve basic competence in the wonderful human capacity of music making. Adults and children come together to sing songs, experience rhythm chants, dance, move to music, play instruments, make up silly rhymes for songs and experience a wide range of rhythmic and melodic variety. This live music making takes place in a fun, playful, non-performance oriented and age-appropriate setting, with adults and the teacher acting as encouraging role models.

Instructors: Jody Harcourt, MT Tracy LLCLocation: Dance StudioNote: Siblings can attend the same class for a sibling fee of $145. No class: 1/21, 2/18, 2/22, 5/27

In addition to your weekly classes and the bilingual recording, you’ll receive the new English-language illustrated songbook, a booklet with the Spanish lyrics and a family newsletter with more at-home music-making ideas that can hacer que cada dia sea más divertido — make every day more fun!
