Music Together^® classes are unusual in that they freely mix ages from birth through age six. The activities focus on adult/child interaction rather that child/child, so that homogeneous age groupings are not necessary.
Infants blend with any age group. Our experience shows that musical development benefits from early exposure. Siblings under 6-months and over 6 are free!

Music Together Big Kids
Your 5-, 6-, or 7-year-old is developing quickly and exploring new activities, mastering new
skills, and gaining independence. As a parent, you may be making choices about extracurricular
activities that complement their new school experiences and support their growth—in music and
in life. The Music Together Big Kids program helps your child take the next step in music
development by blending the elements of Music Together that parents and children love with
new activities, skills, and challenges that are developmentally appropriate for 5- through 7-year-
old children.
As you may know, Music Together mixed-age classes support the development of tonal and
rhythm competency, family music making and the disposition to be life-long music makers for
infants through 4-year-old children. Big Kids classes focus on Basic Music Literacy, laying the
foundation for formal music instruction in school or in private instrument lessons, as well as a
lifetime of joyful music making.
At Music Together, we recognize your older child's new capabilities and provide a
developmentally appropriate curriculum that includes solfege, instrumental solos and ensembles,
choreography, harmony singing, vocal development, and drumming skills. The Big Kids
classroom is a safe, familiar, fun environment where your child can experiment with new
musical activities like conducting and improvisation, story songs, "silly operas," and game songs.
Parent participation is the hallmark of the Music Together program, but many children of this
age are ready for more independence in the classroom, so parent attendance in each Big Kids
class is welcome but not required. You and your child will receive a songbook, CD, and
HomePlay activities so that the entire family can continue the fun and learning at home and you
can stay connected with what your child is learning in class.
Music Together Big Kids Classes
• Classes are 60 minutes long and meet weekly for ten weeks.

Every child’s development benefits from early exposure to music and movement. Because the early months are so important, Music Together offers two options for babies. Babies eight months and younger at the time of registration may attend a Mixed Ages Class, whether registered on their own or attending free with an older brother or sister. Babies may also take the special “Babies Class” offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together. (This class cannot be repeated.) The music activities and materials are specially designed for parents who want to learn as much as possible about music development in babies. Meet other parents of newborns and learn some fascinating music activities you can recreate at home with your baby.
