For children 10 months old or younger
Every child’s music development benefits from early exposure to music and movement. Because the early months are so important, Music Together® offers two options for babies. Infants may attend a mixed-age class, whether registered on their own or attending free with an older sibling. They may also be registered for the special “Babies Class” offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together®. The music activities and materials are specially designed for parents who want to learn as much as possible about music development in infants, and meet other parents of newborns and learn fascinating music activities you can recreate at home with your baby using concepts such as "purposeful touch," "sound layering," and "dancing for baby."
Babies must be ten months old or younger on the first day of class. We recommend infants older than ten months register for mixed-age classes. Babies classes are designed to use the same collection as mixed-age classes creating a seamless transition for families between class programs.

Join us for the BELLS Collection this WINTER!
In the upcoming song collection, families will play with their voices by mimicking the sounds of instruments in the "French Folk Song," and Spanish-speaking animals in "De Colores." (Did you know that in Spanish, roosters say "Quiri-quiri quiri" to wake people up?) Making funny animal sounds, lip-burring, and other tonal play helps children explore their vocal register, discover their singing voices and distinguish them from their speaking voices. And since children learn from contrasts and by expressing music with their full bodies, you'll be hopping lightly like birds and sliding smoothly like an iceskater. You'll have so much fun you won't even notice that you're learning staccato and legato!
In addition to your weekly classes, your registration includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app.
