Music Together® is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergardeners, 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.

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 in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning.

Spring term dates: April 10, 17, 24; May 1, 8, 15, 22; June 5, 12, 19

Music Together classes are offered by The Philadelphia Suzuki Piano Academy. For registration and other information, and to RSVP for demonstration classes, please contact icanplay@philasuzukipiano.com or 267.251.0429.

Tuition includes:

  • Ten weekly 45-minute classes
  • A beautifully illustrated songbook with activity suggestions for parents.
  • Two copies of a professionally recorded CD which includes songs, rhythm chants, “play-along” music, and tonal and rhythm patterns — a different song collection for each semester, rotated over three years.
  • A Parent Guide DVD for new families called: “Music Together at Home: Helping Your Child Grow Musically.”
  • An ongoing parent education program throughout the semester to help parents learn how children develop musically, and how to assess their child’s rhythm and tonal development.
