Music Together FAMILY CLASSES
For children birth to age 5 with parents or caregivers
Music Together® classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. This research-based program uses playful song and movement to help children learn to sing in tune, keep a beat and gain confidence in the music of their culture.
Each 10-week session (6 weeks for summer session classes) includes a weekly 45-minute class. All families receive a high quality recording and songbook of the session’s current song collection. Classes are mixed ages, taught by professionally trained and registered Music Together instructors.
Tuition assistance is available on a sliding scale for families in need of monetary assistance.
Tuition and Registration
Tuition for Music Together family classes is $175 per child ($120 for summer). The Music Center is committed to helping ensure that all children have the ability to participate in musical activities. For Music Together® there are three levels of pricing, which we ask you to self-select on your honor, based on the following income guidelines used by the Federal Free and Reduced School Lunch Program. When registering, you will be given the option to select which tier of financial aid your family qualifies and pay the corresponding amount. Siblings may attend Music Together classes for a discount of 60% off tuition (50% off summer tuition), including financial aid tiers. Siblings in a family who are younger than 9 months may attend with other family members free of charge.
