“Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”
~Fred Rogers
. . . and this precious toddler is doing some serious musical concentration- while playing! That's how we teach in our classes. Adults create the musical play, and the children soak it up in their own way. This is from one of our Santa Rosa Outdoor classes, summer 2022.
A Parent's Personal Experience...
I am quite sure that it was Music Together that brought me out of my shell (as far as singing, anyway). I really NEVER used to sing in front of people, not even my husband.
But we do anything for our kids right? So I remember feeling a bit awkward and shy in classes at first. Now, I sing throughout the day at home, sing with hubby, and even to myself or to the kids at the grocery store! It’s very liberating not only to have found the confidence to sing out when I feel like it, but also wonderful to have sweet little melodies right there stuck in my head ready to pop out into the world.
It’s usually so much about the kids and their learning and progress, but I’ve personally made a ton of progress in my own way. Just wanting to acknowledge it.

A. was in a happy mood for hours after class - singing and dancing and laughing in the afterglow. Finally I've found the right place to foster her love of music without being turned off by adult expectations. I've tried a number of other kid's group programs that were not a good fit.
~ B. McCoy, Rohnert Park
The Music Together curriculum is one of the best-structured and most effective early childhood music educations out there.
Without knowing how, parents and children absorb fundamental concepts of musical structure while gaining a common repertory to make music with each other in the home. We learn by watching and doing, playing and exploring.
I recommend any parent of a young child get involved.
