Class Descriptions

Mixed Age class

Our Mixed Ages classes provide weekly music classes in a setting that is geared towards children from birth through age five.

  • This class follows the recommendations of child development researchers in grouping children of a variety of ages in one class.
  • The approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together.
  • Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments.
  • We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class.
  • Each semester, you will receive a download code for a digital copy of the semester's song collection, an illustrated songbook, and if you choose, an optional CD, so you can continue your music-making fun at home,
