What is the difference between your classes?
Our Mixed Ages classes are for ages birth-5 yrs along with their grownups.  We sing, dance, play and enjoy our time together!  Our main goal is the connection between caregiver and child.  Our Rhythm Kids^® classes are for ages 5-7, and they are designed to be with or without an adult!  Each child interacts with the teacher learning rhythm, basic music competence and how to have a lot of fun making music!

What if my child is a mover?  I am afraid he won't sit still during class. 
In our classes,  your child won't be expected to sit still and listen unless that's their personality!  Children have many years ahead of them where they can take structured music lessons.  At this age, we put a high value on allowing all personalities to experience music in their own way, whether they're walking around, jumping, sitting or just observing.  Young children learn best through uninhibited play & exploration! 

What will class be like?  Do we just sit there & observe while our child plays instruments?  
We sing in different languages, use fun instruments & props, dance along to super silly songs and explore our voices!  Adults are ALWAYS encouraged to join in (dancing, singing, playing instruments) because YOU are your child's best model.  We always end our classtime together with an energetic dance party, a cuddly lullaby time, and then we sing goodbye to each child by name.

I am desperate for community.  Will this be a place where I can find that?  Or do we just go to class and go home each week?
Besides the obvious goal of making Music Together^®, we also want to foster an environment of community within our group.  Our passion is to help connect our families with each other so they can do life together.  We want you to connect, plan play dates and make forever friends.  A few of our morning classes love to go out together right after class each week!  This is just one reason why we have 10 week semesters rather than drop in classes.
 

Do we have to pay for each adult that attends?  Can I bring a grandma or uncle with me?
You only pay for your children!  We would love to meet any grandmas, grandpas, aunts or uncles that want to check the class out with you!  All we ask is that they participate in the circle when they attend and that you bring no more than 2 visitors at a time.  If they need to sit in a chair, we have that covered!  We will set it up right in the circle so they can join in!
 

What ages are in the family classes? 
Our family classes include ages birth through 5.  We have mixed ages because the young ones can watch and learn from the older children, and the older children have the opportunity to be helpers for the younger kids.  
 

What do we need to bring to class?
Yourselves!  We provide all the instruments you need during class time.  Except for Rhythm Kids^®. . .each child needs to bring their djembe to class each week.
 

Is there a discount for siblings?
Yes!  We have a discount for siblings who are 9 months and older.  For infant siblings UNDER 9 months, they get to attend for FREE!  (Free infants does not apply to our babies class)

Will it be the same music each semester?
No way!  Music Together classes function on a 3 year cycle, using 9 different sets of music!!!  So when you stay with us for the long haul, you will have a large collection of fun songs that you and your family can enjoy for years to come!
 

Ok, so I am not a big fan of silly kid songs with goofy instrumentation.  Will I enjoy these classes or will they drive me crazy?
So glad you asked!  We are not fans of low quality kid songs either!  You are in luck because Music Together songs are high quality recordings with REAL acoustic instruments, a huge variety of songs that include world music in different languages, folk songs, traditional American songs and more!  

Do you offer piano or voice lessons?
Currently we only offer Music Together classes for ages birth through 5 years.  There are several teachers who teach private lessons in the area, and you can also contact Guitar Center and Music & Arts.
