Music Together® Class FAQs

New to Music Together®? Here are answers to the questions families ask most often about our mixed-age music classes for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and their grownups.

What ages are in the classes?

Our mixed-age family classes welcome children from birth through age 5. Younger children learn by watching and imitating, while older children enjoy leading, helping, and exploring music in new ways.

What happens during a class?

During each 45-minute class, we sing, dance, play child-friendly instruments, explore rhythm, and move to music from many cultures. We finish with an energetic dance, a calming lullaby, and a goodbye song.

What if my child will not sit still?

That is completely normal. Children may move, jump, watch quietly, or join in at their own pace. We create a welcoming environment where young children can learn through playful exploration.

Do adults participate?

Yes! Children learn by watching the adults they love. Parents, grandparents, nannies, and other caregivers are encouraged to sing, move, and play along—no musical experience required.

Can a grandparent or another family member visit?

Yes. Visiting family members are welcome to join the circle and participate. Please limit visits to no more than two guests at a time so the class remains comfortable for everyone.

Is there a sibling discount?

Yes. Discounted tuition is available for siblings age 8 months and older. Infant siblings under 8 months may attend free with a registered older sibling. See our current tuition page for details.

What should we bring?

Just bring yourselves and clothes that are comfortable for moving. We provide the instruments and props used during class.

What is included with registration?

Registration includes weekly classes, your semester song collection with digital access, a family songbook, and resources that help you continue making music at home. Families also receive generous makeup options, subject to available space.

Will the music change each semester?

Yes. Music Together uses nine different song collections in a three-year cycle, giving families a rich variety of folk, world, traditional, and original music.

Can we try a class first?

Absolutely. A trial class is a wonderful way to meet a teacher and experience the program with your child.
