A full-color songbook and CD (along with a digital download for the “Hello Everybody” app from Music Together) are included.
Due to shelter-in-place restrictions, these items will be MAILED to your home. In the checkout process, you will be prompted to enter the mailing address where you would like to receive these materials.

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-week session in Summer) includes a weekly 45-minute class. All families receive songbook, high quality recording and digital access to 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.
MAKEUP POLICY: Any missed classes within your current session can be made up at another scheduled class time/location with advance communication with your teacher.
Music Together con Español
Music Together con Español mixed-age class uses English / Spanish editions of our song collections, providing Spanish-language exposure within the rich music environment of the Music Together classroom.
The CD for this class has at least one Spanish verse in each song which we incorporate into the class activities. The class is taught in English. Spanish speakers and English speakers are encouraged to attend!
