Did you know that all children are musical?
At Music Together®, we celebrate The Joy of Family Music®. In a forty-five minute class we sing, dance, play instruments, and laugh a lot! See for yourself with this online video and parent testimonials!
Tap and tickle your baby's toes. Jump and dance with your three-year old. Pretend to be bumble bees, galloping horses, and scampering squirrels. Explore drums, bells, shaker eggs and other instruments with your child. Come experience the joy of sharing music, and give your child a gift that can last a lifetime.
Music Together classes build on your child(ren)s natural enthusiasm for music and movement. We believe that music ability is as much a life skill as walking or talking. We believe that all children can achieve basic music competence, i.e. learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate in music-making with confidence and pleasure, provided that their early environment supports such learning.
Classes meet once a week for ten weeks consecutively during the school year and once a week for six weeks in the summer. Each family receives 2 copies of the professionally recorded cd (one for home, one for the car!) and a beautifully illustrated songbook with the music that we'll use all semester. Music Together classes offer your family a chance to play, to make music, and to learn about children's music development. During the early years, it is extremely important that parents and caregivers be the ones who create a nurturing environment. Children are biologically "wired" to respond most to those with whom they have close bonds. Music Together classes help you build that bond, regardless of your musical background and abilities. If adults have fun making music, children will, too. So join us at our beautiful studio on Peoria's riverfront as we in introduce your child(ren) to the pleasures of making music...together!
