Did you know that all children are musical?

Have you ever wondered what you can do to nurture the musical growth of your child, regardless of your own musical ability?

Experience Music Together^® and find out how important--and how much fun--your role can be! Each class includes songs, rhythmic rhymes, movement, and instrument play. These activities are presented as informal, non-performance-oriented musical experiences--developmentally appropriate for children and easy for parents and caregivers--regardless of their own musical ability.

Our Music Together classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement. We'll help you provide your child with the basic musical skills needed to enjoy school and social musical activities, and to study an instrument should he or she choose to do so.

During the 3-semester school year, we offer classes in 7 locations in southern and mid-Westchester: Briarcliff, Chappaqua, Dobbs Ferry, Mount Kisco, Scarsdale, Tarrytown, and Tuckahoe! During the summer, we offer classes in most of our locations. Summer 2009 classes will be held in all locations except for Tarrytown. Classes in that location will resume in the fall.
