In any learning environment, a child's response varies based on their dominant learning style, temperament, age, and developmental ability. Some may chose to sit in your lap and observe quietly, while others may move and dance enthusiastically. It may appear that your child is not "paying attention" as they are drawn to explore and play, especially with many distractions of a group setting. We know that little ones learn through play and observation, which is why your role in the class is so valuable. Parents are encouraged to participate by singing and following along during classes, providing the model for class participation and immersing their little one in a musical environment.
The Music Together® program is tailored to provide a variety of musical experiences in class and at home during the week, and we provide a variety of ways to implement this program in your home in a way that works for your family. Throughout the session, your teacher will help you tune in to your child's musical behaviors, so that you can support their musical growth and development.
