Introduce your baby to the joy of music with Music Together’s “Babies Class”—a one-semester program tailored for infants under seven months. This unique class helps you bond with your baby through music, rhythm, and movement, setting a foundation for lifelong learning and creativity. Alongside other new parents, you’ll learn interactive music activities to nurture your baby’s early development and create a joyful home environment. Each family brings a cozy blanket to enjoy outdoor sessions, and classes move indoors if weather or air quality requires. Embrace this precious time with your baby as you discover the magic of early music-making together!
Music Together® - Babies
(0-8 months) OUTDOORS
Music Together’s baby classes are designed to inspire early musical growth and connection, offering two options for infants under seven months: the one-semester “Babies Class” and a mixed-age class that siblings can attend together. In the “Babies Class,” you’ll join a supportive community of new parents, exploring fun, developmentally enriching activities you can easily recreate at home to encourage your baby’s musical and sensory development. For either option, families bring a cozy blanket for outdoor sessions, fostering a relaxed, engaging environment, with classes moving indoors as needed. These classes create lasting memories and introduce your baby to the world of music in a warm, family-oriented setting.
Music Together® Mixed Ages
(0 - 5 years) INDOORS

This class supports each child’s individual development, allowing them to engage at their own level—whether through singing, moving, chanting, or exploring instruments. The mixed-age approach encourages younger children to learn by watching and imitating older ones, while older children gain confidence by leading the group. It’s a dynamic, joyful experience that fosters connection and creativity for both children and caregivers. Parents, grandparents, and other caregivers are all invited to participate, creating an enriching musical experience that brings families closer together and helps develop a lifelong love of music.
Music Together® Mixed Ages

Each child is encouraged to participate at their own developmental level, whether through singing, dancing, chanting, or exploring musical instruments, making the experience both engaging and educational. This inclusive class is designed to nurture a love for music in children while promoting bonding and interaction among family members. Parents, grandparents, and caregivers are all welcome to join the fun, creating a shared musical journey that strengthens family ties and enriches everyone’s experience.
