What's New

Fall Semester and Afternoons!


 

Sing, Dance, and Jam Along with Us!

In the Flute Song Collection, we'll get out our instruments and play along to the jazzy original "Blue St. Pat," search the "Pawpaw Patch," and climb aboard the "Train to the City." And those are only three of the twenty-five songs you'll learn, which include Music Together® originals and traditional songs. In addition to your weekly classes, your tuition includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app.

Coming Summer 2024!

Join us for the Harmonica Song Collection this Summer!

This summer we will be running classes over 6 weeks (last 3 of July, first 3 of Aug), but you will be purchasing a pass for just 4 of the classes. That gives you the flexibility to work around your own summer adventures! If you would like to attend the other 2 classes, you can pay a drop-in fee of $12 at the time of class (cash, square or etransfer). 

The Harmonica Song Collection has a wonderful assortment of Music Together favorites, such as the foot-stompin' "Old Brass Wagon," and the playful "Two Little Kitty Cats." Your family will delight in "cloc-ing" and "oinc-ing" along to the traditional Argentinian folk song, "Vengan a Ver," as well as taking time for a snuggle as you sing along to the soft and soothing lullaby, "Raisins and Almonds." In addition to your weekly classes, your tuition includes materials for you to use at home, access to the online Family Music Zone®, and a family newsletter full of resources and music-making ideas. Join us for this session and fill your family's summer with music, fun, and friendship!

Bells collection begins Jan 8th!

Join us for the Bells Song Collection this Fall!

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 tuition includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including access to the songs through the Music Together app. Join the Winter session and play, sing, laugh and learn with families in your community.
