Fun. Uplifting. Magical. Transformative. These are just a few of the ways that parents describe Music Together®. Want to join their amazing community of Music Together families?
For the last 20 years, West Side Music Together has been providing meaningful music experiences for thousands of families in Vancouver. Families can enter our program curriculum at any age from newborn through age 8 in their Babies Only (0-8mos), Mixed Age (0-4yrs), or Rhythm Kids (5-8yrs) programs. Each week babies, toddlers, preschoolers, big kids—and the grownups who love them!—gather together in classes to sing, wiggle, dance, and jam with the instruments.
Children can learn to speak music in the same way they learn to speak English – by being with grown-ups who speak the language of music to each other, the children, and even to the infants. And parents love their award-winning music with its rich variety of styles, metres, tonalities, and languages! The illustrated songbook, and other print and online resources will help you continue the music-making fun at home and nurture your child’s musical growth—even if you don’t think of yourself as a great singer or dancer. Like parenting, making music requires no previous experience or expertise, just a willingness to get down on the floor and get silly with your child!
