Music Learning Supports All Learning ®
All children are musical
All children have an inborn potential for music learning and growth (music aptitude) and can achieve basic music competence. Music Together defines basic music competence as audition and expression of tonality through in-tune singing and rhythm through accurate movement.
While music aptitude is normally distributed within the general population, not everyone fulfills the promise of their potential. The child's music development will sparks with varied music experiences. The critical period for the primary music development is approximately between birth and age of five.
At Music Together we recognize the value of music for its own sake. Our primary goal is to help your child achieve basic tonal and rhythmic competence and open the door to a lifetime of music participation. Our musically-rich, play-based, and developmentally appropriate approach includes parents and primary caregivers, regardless of their music ability.
