Music Together Fall Classes

Music Together is an early childhood music and movement program that emphasizes adult involvement. It's only growing in popularity, and classes for the fall are already filling up in Brooklyn.

Several local parents have recommended the South Slope Music Together, which runs the classes at Hootenanny Art House and at Cynthia King Dance Studio.

Here's a description of their Mixed-Age Music Together class:

This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend from birth through age four through all nine song collections. This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.

Two CDs and Songbook are included when you sign up for the 45-minute music class.

Fall session will begin on September 12, and you can attend a free trial class if you'd like. Call 718-369-0528 for more details.
