Babies Classes (0-10 months)

At Music Together®, we know it's never too early to start music classes! You've probably already noticed how your baby responds when you play music or sing a song to soothe them. Your little one is a natural-born music-maker, ready to start learning music at birth.

 

As in everything, you are your baby's first and best teacher—but you don't have to be a great singer or dancer yourself to nuture their love of music! When you sing in the car and dance in the living room, you're showing your baby how to make music and that making music is important to your family. Musically speaking, that's all your baby needs from you!


In our Music Together Babies class, specially designed for infants from birth through 10 months, you'll participate in fun musical activities for babies. You'll also learn to recognize which of your baby's behaviors are musical so that you can support their development at the time when your baby's brain is at its most receptive.

 

 

Benefits of Babies Classes

 

Child development research has shown that because Music Learning Supports All Learning®®, developing your baby's natural musicality supports their growth in many other areas as well, including their physical, socio-emotional, language, and early brain development. Every musical activity your Babies class teacher leads is developmentally appropriate for infants.

 

The Babies class has other benefits, too! Singing and dancing with your baby is a beautiful way for the two of you to bond. And you'll connect with other parents and caregivers in the community while making beautiful music together!

 

Each semester includes:

 

  • Weekly 45-minute classes, including songs, rhythmic chants, movement, and instrument play. Classes run in 9-week sessions, except for Summer (6-weeks) and Holiday (3 weeks).
  • A new music collection (CD and digital access) with professionally-recorded songs, rhythmic chants, “play-along” music, and tonal and rhythm patterns. There are 12 non-sequential collections of music, one for each semester, rotated over three years.
  • A beautiful songbook with colorful, engaging illustrations to capture children’s imaginations at home.
  • Parent education to help adults better understand and support their children’s musical development.
