According to Jennifer, “I am so proud to bring this wonderful early childhood music program to this community."

“All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Music Together brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life. Families get so much out of these classes,” Jennifer explains.

Children learn music the same way they learn to walk and talk; by observing those with whom they have a close personal bond. That is why parents and caregivers play an important role participating in Music Together Mixed Age Family classes. Little Light Music Together classes form a community of families with young children sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants, and movement and dance activities in a relaxed, playful, non-­performance oriented setting. This is the developmentally­ appropriate way for children to learn and grow musically, cognitively, socially, and physically.

Celebrating nearly 30 years since inception, Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children birth through age seven. The Music Together curriculum was coauthored in 1987 by Kenneth K. Guilmartin (Founder/Director) and Rowan University Professor of Music Education Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz (Director of Research) and offers programs for families; schools; at­risk populations; and children with special needs, in over 2000 communities in 40 countries. The company is passionately committed to bringing children and their caregivers closer through shared music­making and helping people discover the joy—and educational value—of early music experiences.

Now, for the first time ever, Music Together is being offered in Imperial Beach!
