The Music Together® classes offered in the Twinkling Stars Music Center are designed for infants to 5 year old children and their families or other caregivers. The classes take place once a week, for ten weeks during the regular semester, and are 45 minutes long. Adults and children sing, chant, clap, dance, listen, and explore musical instruments at their own pace. The students' musical development is monitored and gently guided by a trained teacher. The teacher leads the class, educates the parents how to recognize and nourish their child's musical development, and gives ideas on how to continue the joy of making music at home. One evening during each semester, Twinkling Stars Music Center will offer a Parent Education Night for the participants at no additional cost. In this 50 minute long presentation, parents will be able to learn more about the musical development of their children, as well as ask questions, talk about their experiences, and express any concern they may have about their child musical development or class.

A Music Together® class is not a 'music lesson'. Children are given the freedom to participate as they choose and according to their developmental level. The class experience is reinforced by parent involvement, encouraging continued learning at home through play.

Educators have long considered mixed-age grouping to be beneficial. Our activities focus on adult/child interaction, so children of different ages can enjoy classes together. (A sibling discount is available to encourage full family involvement).

Music Together® classes nourish a family's efforts to create a rich and joyful musical environment at home. Each semester, you will receive a new song collection on CD and a corresponding, beautifully illustrated songbook. Parents will gain a new understanding to support their child's lifelong love of music.  Children also benefit in the areas of movement, communication, socialization, and the family gains another common 'language' for day-to-day interactions.
