ABOUT MUSIC TOGETHER® PROGRAM
Music Together® is a
music and movement approach to
early childhood music development
for infant, toddler, preschool,
and kindergarten children and
their parents, teachers, and
other primary caregivers. Originally
offered to the public in 1987,
it pioneered the concept of a
research-based, developmentally
appropriate early childhood music
curriculum that strongly emphasizes
and facilitates adult involvement.
The Music Together® approach develops
every child's birthright of basic
music competence by encouraging
the actual experiencing of music
rather than the learning of concepts
or information about music. It
began as an educational project
of the Center for Music and Young
Children (CMYC) in Princeton,
New Jersey and is now being taught
internationally. (from Music Together's
Website - www.musictogether.com).
The Music Together® repertoire has been compiled in to nine Song Collections. Each song collection contains approximately 30 songs, chants, dances, and instrument play-along selections. The presented materials are mostly well arranged traditional folk songs, chants, and dances from many different cultures and countries, as well as, originally written musical pieces. There are nine complete collections of music, three per year, a wealth of music for your family.
