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 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.
Sliding Scale Tuition and Registration
Tuition for Music Together family classes is $175 for first child with a 40% discount for siblings. 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 in a family who are younger than 9 months may attend with other family members free of charge.
Whole Year Registration Discount is available this year!
Register and pay for all three sessions (Fall, Winter, Spring) this year by September 10 and receive a 10% discount off total Music Together tuition. Please contact the Music Center office in person or by calling (574) 535-7361 (choose #1 from the menu to reach Dustin George-Miller) between August 10 and September 10 to complete the whole year registration for your child. If you wish to reserve your place in a Fall class before Aug. 10, you may register and pay for it as usual and then contact the office between Aug. 10 and Sept. 10 to complete registration for Winter and Spring classes, at which time the discount for Fall classes will also be deducted from tuition total. Note: Registration for either Rhythm Kids or Family Classes may qualify for inclusion in your Whole Year Registration.
