Class Descriptions

Show classes for:
Mixed Ages

(Newborn to 5 years) Child development researchers recommend mixed-age groupings because it fosters natural, family-style learning. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating the older ones, older children learn by leading the younger ones, and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at their own level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, watching, or exploring musical instruments. These classes are held indoors in across San Francisco, Pacifica, and Half Moon Bay in accordance with the latest COVID-19 protocols. Families will receive location information after they enroll, though you can email the office for more details. 

Babies

(Newborn to 8 months) If you have an infant under 8 months, please join this specially designed music class for families with children who are new to the world. The activities in class are geared towards this age group, and they are a terrific bonding experience for you and your little one. Meet other parents with children all in the same stage of development as your child and learn about the latest reseach in musical responses in infants, while introducing your child to the world of music in a developmentally-appropriate way.

Music Together® con Español is a bilingual English/Spanish version of the Music Together mixed-age class you know and love. Every semester, the song collection has been recorded in a mixture of English and Spanish, which you’ll take home. And, in addition to your weekly classes and the bilingual recording, you’ll receive the new English-language illustrated songbook, a booklet with the Spanish lyrics, and a family newsletter with more at-home music-making ideas that can hacer que cada día sea más divertido—make every day more fun!

Free Music Class

We occasionally throw free music parties at our different locations to showcase our Mixed Ages program for children ages 0-5. Families who are new to our program, families who have been with us for years,  and everyone in between are all welcome! We advertise these events via our newsletter, so make sure you are on our mailing list, so you can receive notifications as to when these events are happening. Sometimes we're showing off a new location and other times we're featuring a new teacher. Sometimes we just feel like giving back to our musical community with a jamming dance party! Whatever the reason, be sure to keep an eye out for our free events.

Rhythm Kids®

(Kindergarten to 2nd grade) In Rhythm Kids® classes, students explore rhythm by playing with music from around the world. Music Together–trained teachers lead dynamic classroom activities designed especially for early elementary students/preschoolers, and the discovery continues at home with the interactive Rhythm Kids® videos, easily viewable on our app. As they drum, sing, and move to different rhythms, children naturally build musicality that helps them prepare for formal music lessons. Opportunities to solo, work in ensembles, and improvise support social and listening skills, self-expression, and self-confidence.

Every child needs this program! It is an excellent preparation for ANY other instrument lessons.
Your child's future music teachers will thank you!
