Music Together®follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages because this fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. Any caregivers—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this important family music experience.
This class is for children aged birth through 5 and their caregivers.
We will host two 30 minute classes on June 16: the first class will be at 10:30 am, and the second class will be at 11:00 am. Families may attend one of the two classes.
Register by calling 415-485-3322, or visit the Children’s Reference Desk to reserve your space!
