Mixed-Age Family Classes

In Music Together’s mixed-age classes, children from birth through kindergarten participate together with their parents and/or caregivers in a rich musical environment. Research shows that grouping together children of a variety of ages fosters natural, family-style learning free of age-specific expectations. That’s the essence of Music Together mixed-age family classes. Younger kids enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older kids learn by leading younger ones; and parents love that siblings can enroll and learn together in class, as well as continuing the learning at home.

For center directors, the mixed-age class format has lots of advantages—especially when you’re just getting started. Scheduling becomes easier when you can offer many different class times that are open to all children. It’s much more convenient for parents to fit Music Together into their busy lives when they can enroll all children, from newborns to kindergarteners, into any of the classes offered.
