Our Story
Enriching Lives Through the Power of Music
Since its founding in 1987, Music Together has communicated its basic philosophy – that all children are musical – through developmentally appropriate, research-based classes for children ages birth through kindergarten and their parents and caregivers. Hundreds of thousands of families have come to love Music Together classes….and music! Music Together classes nurture the inherent music lover in us all through play.
Our Story
A Little History…
“My family got involved,” explains Ken Guilmartin, co-author of the Music Together materials and founder of the Center for Music and Young Children (CMYC), “when my grandfather, John F. Sengstack, an accountant and amateur violinist, bought a small eduational music publishing company.”
Years later, after the company had passed to Ken’s uncle, David K. Sengstack, it was the “Happy Birthday” royalties that funded a one-man research and development department named Ken Guilmartin. Ken used the funding to start CMYC and begin work on what eventually became Music Together. “I’ve always thought it fitting,” says Ken, “that Music Together can trace its lineage back through ‘Happy Birthday’ to two early childhood educators. I think the Hill sisters would be pleased, too.”

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.

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

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.
