Class Descriptions

Mixed Ages

This is the essential Music Together®, one for the youngest of babies through to 6 years-old and through all nine song collections. It’s a fun, non-pressurised class to support the strongest musical growth whilst building a musical foundation that is solid and based on enjoying music-making. The mixed-age class follows the recommendations of child development researchers by providing a developmentally appropriate teaching approach and grouping children of a variety of ages together to foster a natural and easy learning environment. You’ll see younger children enjoying themselves, watching and imitating older children and older children enjoying being the leaders. And, siblings can attend the same class with their caregivers: parents, nannies and grandparents can bring the children. Each child participates at their own level, singing, moving, using instruments, listening, watching and exploring.

 

Parents with Babies

Ideal for parents with babies, newborns through to 9 months old, essentially before they start to crawl! (Babies are always welcome in the mixed-age class or if they are 8 months or younger they can take the special “Babies Class”.)

Newborns are alert to new sounds, different sounds, and movement. You may already have seen your newborn responding to music by wiggling their toes or opening their eyes wide. In the babies class we are supporting your babies' natural musicality and building their neural pathways, supporting your time with them as well as their own musical, social and emotional growth.Every child’s development benefits from early exposure to music and movement and this class is a one-semester introduction to Music Together. The activities and songbook are specifically designed for babies and aim to give the parents as much information and support as possible so that they can learn about their baby’s musical development. It’s a great opportunity to meet with other parents of newborns whilst learning many activities you can enjoy at home with your baby.

Rhythm Kids®

Rhythm Kids® is the next step! Each week we drum, sing, dance, play rhythm instruments, and begin to play music-based games. Rhythm Kids® guides children toward developmentally appropriate music and movement activities, where they can begin to take charge, lead others, and be musically creative, as they:

  • make up their own drumming patterns
  • invent new ways to play rhythm instruments (shakers, sticks, etc.) 
  • create movement ideas for songs
  • even take a drum solo!

Classes include:

• Songbook and CD each semester plus digital download code.

• Access to online drum-play videos and other material

Your child will:

• Explore the world of rhythm through movement, instrument play, and song

• Develop basic rhythm skills, like keeping beat, improvising, ensemble play, and soloing

• Learn to create, cooperate, and express themselves musically
