Our curriculum develops basic music competence through activities including chants, fingerplay, small and large movements, using a variety of age appropriate musical instruments, silly sounds, vocables, and many repetitions. Music Together is loved around the world because it brings families together and reminds us of the importance of joyful music making through play, singing, and movements. It gives us a chance to bond with our children and with others within our communities. It greatly stresses the important role music has throughout life, starting from early childhood. Families are given music & professionally illustrated songbook to take home to continue the learning at home. Many children will bring in their play guitars to use in class. Parents are encourage to bring their instrument of choice and play with us in the classroom. Children will be introduced to original copyrighted music & traditional music from around the world.
