Music Together Classes in Tacoma

Music Together® Mixed age classes for babies through 5 years old


Each week, a trained Music Together teacher leads the class in singing, dancing, and playing songs that range from tender lullabies to boisterous jams using child-friendly percussion instruments. The award-winning music, illustrated songbook, and other print and online resources will help you continue the music-making fun at home and nurture your child's musical growth—even if you don't think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. Like parenting, making music requires no previous experience or expertise, just a willingness to get down on the floor and get silly with your child!

New low tuition: $170  for 9 week session.

BEST VALUE: GROUP LESSONS

Learning in a group has many benefits: it provides confidence in playing for others  and aids students in developing rhythm skills. Students learn from peers as well as from the teacher; drills and exercises can be more interesting and motivating.

Currently available: Group Piano M-F 5:30PM, 6PM.


Tacoma Music Academy’s group classes operate on a continuous enrollment model, allowing students to join at any time and attend weekly sessions. While students return each week, each class presents new content, ensuring ongoing skill development and engagement. This flexible structure accommodates varying start dates and allows students to progress at their own pace. Likewise, students may discontinue lessons as needed, making attendance fluid rather than fixed. As a result, our enrollment numbers reflect a dynamic system where participation fluctuates, yet the program maintains consistent engagement by welcoming new students while retaining returning ones.



Regular tuition: $60 per month. 

One time new student registration fee $35.


NEW:  Sunday
