Presents Music Together®

Music Together is an internationally recognized, research-based early childhood music program for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them.

Registration is underway for our Summer Session, which starts July 7 and goes through August 16 and we invite you to sign up now!

At any time during the session, you can attend a FREE sample class to experience what our classes are like.  You can schedule this on line on our Make-Up Scheduler.  Our password is "Heartsong".  Feel free to invite a friend along too! 

I attended Heartsong Music classes last session and will be resuming again (this next session)...As a mother, educator, and nanny I truly want to express how fantastic and vital the Music Together programs really are! (I encourage you to)...give it a try! I promise you will absolutely love it! It has a rejuvinating and stress-relieving quality that anyone can enjoy, even if music isn't your 'thing'! Looking forward to another session of singing and dancing!" ~Amanda Peltier

"The best...gift I gave my 1 1/2 year old granddaughter this year was sessions at Heartsong. Since we have been attending classes, she has been humming, singing and reciting words from the songs. She has not used her voice or hummed until we've attended Heartsong. My granddaughter and I love going to class and I think it's one of the best activities you can do with your child." - Peggy Kessel (more testimonials).

 



Music Together is a music and movement approach that develops every child's opportunity for basic music competence by encouraging music experience rather than the learning of information about music.



Music Together classes are based on the idea that making music with children, in the family, and in a community of families...

- Enriches the lives of both children and parents

- Promotes musical growth in children, optimizing musical aptitude and future success in music

- Should be FUN!



The program is directed by Carey Youngblood - singer, guitarist, accredited Music Together teacher for 4 years, licensed AMI Montessori teacher, early childhood behavioral specialist and early childhood music researcher.



Music ability is a natural life skill. All children can achieve basic competence in music provided their early music environment is sufficiently rich.

Basic music competence will allow your child to be able to sing and move in a rhythmically accurate way, the notes or pitches in the melody will also be accurate and in tune.



Music Together is designed to help you nurture your child's music development, regardless of your own music background or ability.



In Music Together, we try not to impose too much structure on your child's music experience. Our informal instruction does not place expectations for achievement upon the child.



Some children are spontaneous singers and movers, others are careful and astute observers.

Even when your child gives no response or seems uninterested in listening or participating, important unconscious learning is taking place.



Our program promotes anxiety-free learning. Our goal is simply to aid the natural learning process.



It is important that you (and your child's other caregivers):
-Participate in class.
-Attend the parent education program.
-Play the recording often.
-Have FUN!



Most children eagerly anticipate the instrument-play period at the end of each class. Even the most reticent children lose their self-consciousness.

Instrument play allows your child to process the new information assimilated during class...

...to practice the old information...

...and to "test hypotheses" about the making of music by interacting directly with an instrument, and with you!



GUITAR TIME! At the end of class, we sing the "Goodbye Song" and each child gets the opportunity to strum the guitar. For many children, this is the highlight of their class time! This is just another way Heartsong Music gives the children the experience of music, hands on.



Our Music Together classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement. We'll help you provide your child with the basic musical skills needed to enjoy school and social musical activities, and to study an instrument should he or she choose to do so.

We hope you can join us for one of our fun-filled sessions.
You will love every minute!!!
