What is Music Together?
Every Child Is Musical
At Music Together®, we believe all children are born musical.
Just as children learn to walk and talk through loving interaction with the people around them, they can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and enjoy making music through playful experiences with the grownups they love.
Developed in Princeton and trusted by millions of families worldwide, Music Together is a research-based music and movement program for children from birth through age 8 and the adults who care for them.
Joyful Learning Through Music
In our weekly classes, families gather to sing, dance, move, and play instruments together in a warm and welcoming environment.
There is no pressure to perform and no expectation that children participate in a particular way. Instead, children learn naturally by observing, exploring, and joining in when they are ready.
This playful approach helps children develop not only musical skills, but also language, coordination, creativity, confidence, and social-emotional awareness.
The Music Doesn't Stop When Class Ends
What makes Music Together unique is that we empower parents to become active partners in their children's musical development.
Every enrolled family receives:
-
Access to the award-winning Music Together app
-
A beautifully illustrated songbook
-
Recordings of the music to enjoy at home and on the go
-
A rich repertoire of songs from many cultures and musical traditions
-
Guidance and resources to help make music part of everyday family life
With nine different song collections, families can participate for years while continually discovering new music from around the world.

Babies Classes (0–8 months) offer a gentle introduction to music-making and a welcoming community for new parents and their youngest children.
More Than a Music Class
Music Together is more than a weekly activity. It is a way of bringing music into your family's everyday life and building a foundation for learning, connection, and joy that can last a lifetime.
Come experience the magic for yourself. Join us for a class and discover how musical your family already is.
For Babies
Babies can first hear in utero at around 4 months gestation, so by the time they are born, most babies are experienced listeners. And their favorite voices are their parents'!
Your baby is a natural-born music-maker—cooing when you sing a nursery rhyme or wiggling when the music comes on. Even tiny babies are alert and respond to melody and rhythm.
In our Mixed-Age classes, you’ll learn musical ways to interact and bond with your baby, support their brain development, and nurture their inner musician. Your baby will learn by watching and imitating you as well as the other children in the room.
For new parents or families who want a program dedicated to the tiniest musicians, register for our weekly Babies class!
For toddlers
Your always curious, sometimes furious toddler is starting to learn about the world and to interact with grownups and other children in new (and often surprising) ways. Toddlers learn by watching others, playing, and experimenting. Our Mixed-Age classes are perfectly aligned with this type of learning because they allow children to participate in their own way in a relaxed, family-style atmosphere.
If you notice your child revisiting some behaviors she has moved past, don't worry! This is not regression. This process of revisiting actually affirms the progress your child has made as she recognizes that she no longer exhibits these behaviors. It also signifies empathy as she adjusts her behavior in order to relate to the younger children in the room.
For preschoolers
Your preschooler’s musical creativity, enthusiasm, and skills are growing by leaps and bounds! In our Mixed-Age classes, preschoolers are the class leaders and are encouraged to contribute their ideas and lead the younger children, who love to watch and imitate them. And because Music Learning Supports All Learning®, your preschooler will also be developing other skills they’ll need to succeed both in school and in life.
For big kids
Rhythm Kids is an international, research-based music immersion program, developed by rhythm expert Tom Foote. In class, students start learning to compose, choreograph, and conduct as they play—and play with!—djembes, other percussion instruments and, of course, their own voices and bodies. When parents attend class, they amplify their children’s learning AND have a great time singing, moving, and drumming themselves.
NB: Rhythm Kids bring their own djembe to class each week so that they can use the weekly drumming videos to practice at home between classes and during breaks.
