Marblehead, MA, May 10^th , 2013—Teresa Coelho, director of Music Together of Marblehead in Marblehead, just returned from an international three-day conference held in Princeton, NJ, where the executives and experts from the acclaimed program Music Together gathered to bring the latest research and materials hundreds of its licensees from around the world.

The conference, led by Music Together Founder/Director Kenneth K. Guilmartin, included dozens of speakers—expert educators, authors, musicians—and programs that focused on a range of critical topics impacting music education and teaching, supporting the company’s mission to bring the joy of family music® to all children while supporting their development. 

Teresa Coelho said, “This was an incredible conference rich in information about the most updated research and strategies in early childhood education. I now have even more tools to educate local parents about how to create a musical home life for their children. Music Together is like no other program in Marblehead, and I am proud to serve the community and help parents and their young children bond through music and movement.”      

Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this academic year (2012-2013), Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children birth through age seven. The Music Together curriculum, coauthored in 1987 by Guilmartin and Rowan University Professor of Music Education Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz (Director of Research), is 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. 

Music Together offers programs for families; schools; at-risk populations; and children with special needs, in over 2000 communities in 40 countries around the world. The company is passionately committed to bringing children and their caregivers closer through shared music-making and helping people discover the joy—and educational value—of early music experiences.  More at www.musictogether.com and on Facebook athttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Music-Together-of-Marblehead-Salem-Beverl...
