Music Together is an early childhood music and movement program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the adults who love them. The program emphasizes natural, family-style learning, and songs from Music Together are designed to be both fun and educational. The specific songs used can vary as Music Together has an extensive collection that rotates through different song collections, ensuring variety and freshness for families attending multiple semesters. Some songs and tunes may become popular or well-known within the Music Together community, but the program itself doesn't focus on commercial "hits" like mainstream music does. Rather, the songs are crafted to be engaging and appropriate for young learners, often incorporating elements from various musical cultures and traditions.

This is Why I Teach Music... Not because I expect you to major in music Not because I expect you to play or sing all your life, Not so you can relax or have fun. But so you will be human So you will recognize beauty So you will be sensitive So you will be closer to an infinite beyond this world So you will have something to cling to So you will have more love more compassion, more gentleness, more good, in short, more life! Of what value will it be to make a proserperous living unless you know how to live? ~Authour unknown

There is a significant body of research showing the benefits of Music Together. Here are a few examples: A study by researchers at the University of North Carolina at Greensboro found that children who participated in Music Together classes for two semesters had significantly higher scores on language development tests than children who did not participate in the program. Another study, published in the journal Early Childhood Research Quarterly , found that Music Together classes can help to improve children's social and emotional development. Children who participated in the program were more likely to share, cooperate, and express their emotions in a healthy way. A third study, published in the journal Brain Research , found that Music Together classes can help to improve children's cognitive development. Children who participated in the program showed better performance on tasks such as memory, attention, and problem-solving. In addition to these studies, there is a gro...

Hello Everybody! In 2021, our family moved to the Poulsbo area and I'm so excited now to create Music Together ® Jam Bay, offering classes in Poulsbo and Port Townsend.
