All Children Are Musical!

   

"My experience of Music Together® this semester was easy, fun and something to look forward to each week. The musical education is excellent;  you can see all the children in class developing musically, even the younger ones.  I feel lucky because this is precisely what I was looking for, for my child."  Linda Weeks, a mom from West Des Moines

  • HOW DOES THE MIXED AGE FORMAT WORK IN CLASS?

    The curriculum is designed to teach on many levels of complexity at once, which allows children to develop at their own rate. The activities are parent-child oriented, not child-child, so children don’t need to be with children of the same age.

    Mixed age groupings encourage a better learning environment. Older children learn from being in a leadership role, and younger children benefit from the example of an older child. Mixed-age classrooms also promote social skills and self-esteem. Class size is limited to 12 registered students, plus their parents/caregivers.
