What Is Music Together^®?

Since 1987, Music Together^® has introduced millions of children, parents, and teachers around the world to the joys of family music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives. Today, classes for children ages birth through grade two are found around the world—including online classes that you can join from home.

From babyhood through the early elementary years, Music Together nurtures each child’s natural musicality in a playful, musically rich learning environment. Our research-based music classes are non-formal and non-performance oriented, so your child can learn at their own pace, in a way that’s developmentally appropriate.

By enrolling in our children’s music program, you’ll experience a whole semester of online classes led by one of our trained teachers. You’ll learn new songs and music activities to inspire you to bring music into your family’s everyday life. 

We Teach the Way Children Learn

At Music Together®, we know that children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interaction with adults and older children. The family-like setting of Music Together classes creates an ideal learning environment. And it’s all based on research in early childhood and music development.

Your Role Is Essential

You are your child’s most important music teacher right now! Young children learn through play and experimentation and by watching and listening to the grownups they love. Setting an example as an enthusiastic participant in music activities is the best thing any parent or caregiver can do to help set a child on the road to a lifelong love of music. Parents don’t need to have music skills—they just need a desire to play and have fun with their children! Our teachers are specially trained to create a safe atmosphere so you can happily join in, experiment, or even get silly—and feel closer to your child while doing so.

Music Learning Supports All Learning®

Wiggling, singing, and laughing with your child is so much fun, it’s easy to forget how much learning is taking place! Our research-based curriculum not only develops music skills, it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and confidence while also supporting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Because these benefits build over time, children enjoy the fullest growth in each of these areas when they participate as consistently as possible up through kindergarten.

Classroom FAQ

What makes Music Together® different? Research. Music Together was first offered to the public in 1987 and pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum. Today classes are offered in thousands of communities across the United States and all around the world. Ongoing research at our Princeton Lab School, as well as the research of others, continually informs Music Together’s work on program content and development, varied applications of the program, and teacher training. Everything we do in class has an educational purpose. 

As a parent, what’s my role in the class? Sing, dance, and have fun! You might be surprised to hear that you are your child’s most important music teacher right now—and it doesn’t matter whether you think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. Young children develop dispositions for certain behaviors, including learning to love music, by observing and imitating their loved ones. Simply by participating enthusiastically during class and playing with the ideas at home, you’ll give your children the modeling they need to learn to love to make music.

Please wait to socialize or use your cell phone until after class and instead help us create a music-only environment.  

What’s expected of my child in class? At Music Together, children are never required to sit in the circle or expected to conform to an adult’s idea of participation. We know that children learn differently from adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, through observation, interactions with adults and older children, and through imitation, play, and, especially, movement. One hallmark of Music Together is the insight that children will naturally develop music ability simply when they are immersed in a community of families all making music.

Children’s responses depend on their most dominant learning style and temperament as well as their age and developmental level. Some might follow the teacher right away. Many will simply want to watch and absorb, particularly in the first few weeks of class. Some might crawl or toddle around; others are stimulated by the music and respond more actively, running, jumping, or dancing. All are perfectly natural responses to the new, musically rich environment. Throughout the semester, your teacher will help you tune in to how your child learns best so you can support their music development in class and at home. Feel free to ask if you have questions!

Feel free to ask if you have questions!

What is the class size? Each class has between 4 and 12 registered children, plus their caregiver(s).

How long are the classes? Class is 45-minutes. All classes meet once a week.

How long are the semesters? We offer a 10-week Fall, Winter and Spring semester, and a 6-week summer session.  

What is the refund policy? No tuition refunds are given after your first week of classes. Families are responsible for class attendance.

What is the make-up policy? We offer unlimited makeup classes during each semester session. Makeups must be used within the same semester and cannot be transferred to another semester. Please call or email to arrange a makeup classes.

Can I switch to a different class? As long as there is space in the class you want to switch into, changes can be accomodated. Please contact the Director to make a class change

What if I start classes after the semester begins? While we encourage families to start at the beginning of the session, we’ll welcome families at any point in the semester, as space permits, and tuition will be automatically prorated online.

Can we eat in class? Please feel comfortable to nurse or bottle-feed your child in class, but we ask that you not bring food or drink into classrooms.

Can I bring a guest or an unregistered older sibling to class?

Music Together classes may be in session when older children have a school holiday, and it is natural to want to bring them with you to class. All guests must be pre arranged with the teacher to ensure adequate space in the class.

Is it OK for more than one adult to come to class? Yes, parents, grandparents, or caregivers are welcome to attend class at any time—no need to ask!

Why aren’t there classes for specific age groups? Classes with children of different ages have intellectual and social benefits for both younger and older children. In fact, it’s the learning environment recommended by many early childhood researchers. Older children learn empathy and awareness of others, while developing leadership qualities and gaining self-confidence. Younger children learn by imitating the older ones and often show more complex behaviors earlier than usual. Even babies benefit by being in an environment that gives them lots of opportunities to observe the behavior of children of varying ages. Plus, it allows everyone—siblings, parents, grandparents, caregivers—to share in the musical experience together!

What happens after we complete a semester? A different song collection is used each semester –there are nine different song collections- so when you re-register, you can look forward to expanding your repertoire with a variety of new songs and chants. The curriculum is designed so that families can continue classes for three years before revisiting a song collection. In three years, you and your child will learn over 250 songs! If you do continue in the program beyond three years (and we hope you will), your child will experience his or her first song collections in a brand new way

How should we use the Music Together® materials? Play your songs at home and in the car frequently, especially during the first few weeks of class. Make it available to the music available for your child to listen to while she is playing or before nap or bedtime. Create your Family Music Zone® account and download the Music Together app for digital versions of the songs and more activity ideas to try!

Use the songbook to help you learn the songs and get new ideas for musical ideas to use at home. The music notation is available on the Family Music Zone® if you play an instrument and want to play along. Try using the songbook at story time instead of a regular book and sing through the songs as you go along.
