What Is Music Together?

Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergateners and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement. It began as an educational project at the Center for Music and Young Children, Princeton, New Jersey and is now being taught nationwide. Music Together CD's, songbooks and classroom techniques enjoy widespread use by teachers and families both directly and indirectly involved in Music Together.

Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early learning environment supports such learning. By emphasizing the actual music experiences rather than the concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasures of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV.

Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn best from the powerful role model of parents/caregivers who are actively making music. The program brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life.

Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers and early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences.
