"Music Together® gave me a chance to do something fun with my infant and to meet other moms too."

"As a musician, the music and course content attracted me to this program. I had heard the cd's from other programs and found them irritating, at best!"

"Music Together is a great opportunity to show our child why we love to make music. The class is structured, yet not too formal. We love the mixed ages environment because she can watch older children and try to follow what they do. the CD's and songbooks make it easy to use at home. We were looking for a program for a baby and this was something she could do before she was even able to walk. Now that she's a little older, it is still perfect!"

"I am a professional dancer and mother of two small children. I found Music Together to be the most engaging, nurturing and fun way to develop both rhythmically and tonally. As a participating parent I developed my own musical understanding and range. I have been learning how to encourage my kids without being pushy, and to spot developmental landmarks. The process also got my husband to sing and even pull out his old guitar! Our enjoyment of the program has obviously encouraged the kids to pursue their own creative music making. Even the little one is starting to "compose" as well as mimic what she hears."

"I really feel a strong sense of community in our classroom. I enjoy the feeling of safety that my daughter has in music because she is comfortable and knows that not only am I looking out for her, but all the other parents are serving as role-models and care-givers to her as well."

"I have been going to East Bay Music Together with my twins since they were 6 months old. They are now 3 1/2. We have had five different teachers. Each teacher brought unique talents to the classes. Our children got exposed to different instruments, voices, and styles. These differences allowed my children to experience music through different lenses. As a result they have flourished musically - singing and dancing and inventing instruments throughout the day."

"From the very first demo class I saw, I knew Music Together was something I had to do. Everyone, from babies to preschoolers to the grandparents, were unselfconsciously making music together. It feels great to participate in bringing back spontaneous music making with family and friends."

"I'll teach Music Together until I am 110 years old, or my knees give out...whichever comes last!"

"I love that the program respects families, children and teachers enough to offer a rich and sophisticated musical diet, fun and accessible activities and the room to be creative and responsive to the different families in our classes."

"I am grateful to have a found a program that is satisfying to me as a musician and which gives me the tools to offer young children a strong musical foundation in a developmentally appropriate setting. It feels great to know that while the families with young children come together for musical fun, they are developing their ear and musical skill"
