Music Classes
Music Together Ages Birth-5
Music Together® is an internationally recognized mixed-age music and movement
class. The Music Together approach develops every child's birthright of basic music
competence by experiencing music through playful activities rather than learning
music concepts. We will begin our semester outdoors at Cherry Hill Park, and move
indoors to the community center after several weeks as COVID-19 vaccination
percentages increase in our area. Interactive music making--singing, chanting, small
movement, and simple dancing led by early childhood music specialist Kathleen
Cobucci. Please bring your own blanket to define your family’s space. Tuition includes
a take home cd, songbook, and digital download code of the semester’s songs.
