Generations Class (0-5yrs)
In Music Together® Generations classes, teachers and families foster meaningful music relationships as "Grandfriends" join the music-making circle. Music is an essential part of being human. Support for music learning in early childhood can yield both life-long skill and enjoyment in music experiences. While Music Together’s core program serves families with children ages 0-5, it’s a natural extension of that core mission to include intergenerational class experiences. Classes are typically held in residential facilities, such as independent living, assisted living, or nursing homes, or in day programs, such as senior centers. These special kinds of Music Together classes have been beloved now for years as more and more communities recognize the unique power of making music together across generations.

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.
