Caregivers and children participating in a Music Together (R) session.

Music Together®

Music Together® is a program designed to help parents nurture their child’s musical growth. It provides developmentally-appropriate music and movement instruction to children from birth to 5 years old, as well as their parents or caregivers. The Music Together® approach encourages early child development, understanding and response through direct musical experiences.

There is a tambourine on the floor nearby and a clear plastic container with toys.
