Music Together by It’s Groovy BabyAges Infant to Kindergarten. Come join our music circle! As hundreds of thousands of families worldwide know, Music Together is the joy of children and their grownups sharing songs, rhymes, movement and instrument play, both in music class and in their daily lives. Essential to the Music Together approach is the belief that all children are musical, and that their natural aptitude for music will blossom in a sufficiently rich music environment. In fact, when given a supportive music environment, children learn to sing and dance as naturally as they learn to walk and talk. Each semester, families receive two CDs, one for home and one for the on-the-go along with an illustrated songbook that’s filled with music-making ideas. In addition, families new to the program receive a parent guide DVD and booklet, “Music Together at Home: Helping Your Child Grow Musically.” “Sibling Price”: under 8 months FREE, $120 for members & $125 for non members.
