Music Together You and Yours

FAQs

What's My Role in Class?

1. Model for the Children

Your active participation, in class and at home, is the key to your children learning and growing musically.

2. Avoid Verbal Directives

Children respond best by just seeing and hearing you doing (and enjoying) it yourself!

3. Give Your Child Some Freedom

We allow toddlers to wander throughout the room. If you want your child to come back to you, redirect your child physically back to you or the circle and try to avoid calling to him. Of course, watch out for your child’s safety, but mostly- just relax, and have fun!

Where do I buy...

Gift certificates for any amount towards can be purchased at any time. It makes a nice baby shower or birthday gift. Grandparents love to buy these for holiday gifts. You can order through our web store.

Instruments and Storybooks

Instruments like what we use in class, and Singalong Storybooks of Music Together® songs are available for purchase for use at home or as gifts directly from Music Together^®^® LLC's Store http://musictogether.com/Store

What about outside of class?

1. Create your Music Together Account by entering your unique code from inside your songbook to access the music. Each additional session, just add the code to unlock the new collection.

2. Play your music (the current collection) at home and in the car as frequently as possible, especially during the first few weeks of class. Make it available to your child to listen to while she is playing or before nap or bedtime.

3. Read the Parent Education booklet

New Music Together parents receive a Parent Education Guide. During class, your teacher will refer to topics and point out examples of music development.

4. Use the songbook at storytime instead of a regular book, and sing through the songs as you go along. Looking at the printed notes on the page will help children understand that music is something that can be read, like words.

Familiarization with notation will help them when they are more ready for formal music instruction, typically when they are school-aged. You can download the full notation online when you sign in to your account on musictogether.com using the code in your songbook.
