"I am a professional flutist who has taken all 3 of my kids to Ms. Gila and Music Together including my now 2 year old who is going on Sundays with my 4 1/2 year old. My kids sing all the songs throughout the house and my 2 year old will make up words or hum the tunes in her crib when she thinks no one is listening. My 4 1/2 year old son can match any pitch and does not even know how cool that is. I give Ms. Gila all the credit. Carolyn C.....Plano
Music Together is:
A research-based early childhood music and movement program for families infants/Toddlers/Preschoolers, ages 0 to 6 Parent-child classes with parent education. Encouragement of parent role modeling. Music learned through playful activities in mixed-aged classes Fun! Fun! Fun!
Basic Principles of the Music Together Philosophy:
I. All children are musical.
II. Therefore, all children can achieve basic music competence, which we have defined as the ability to sing in tune and move with accurate rhythm.
III.The participation and modeling of parents and caregivers, regardless of their musical ability, is essential to a child's musical growth.
IV. This growth is best achieved in a playful, developmentally appropriate, non-performance-oriented learning environment that is musically rich yet immediately accessible to the child's-and the adult's!-participation.
