What we’re about
Music Together for Monadnock Families is designed for Parents/Caregivers and their children ages 0-7.
Music Together is a fabulous way for children to learn the skills to become competent and comfortable music makers...
It may seem funny to “teach” music to babies and young children, so let’s think about how kids learn their native language. They’re immersed in it! It’s everywhere for them and they just kind of absorb it. Well, in our culture (unlike some others around the world) opportunities are not everywhere for young kids to be immersed in live music – and this is what Music Together is all about!
How do children learn to speak? Through engaging with people they love, through repetition and immersion, and through PLAY.
In a Music Together class kids are free to explore, play and experience the music-making in the way that works best for their own age and learning style, while we grownups sing, dance and play percussion instruments. We create a place where music is all around, everyone’s having fun, and the kids are immersed and learning in the best possible way.
We know this works because Music Together has been around for over 25 years and our stories of musical joy and success are countless. All people are born musical – but we need an environment to encourage and nurture our musicality!
