Music Together® Mixed Ages

Instructors: Lisa Brown, Rachel Stratton, Gabrielle Balanda

Mixed Ages classes are for children ages 0-5 with an adult. In a Mixed Ages class, you will see infants, toddlers, and preschoolers (and the grownups who love them!) engaging with each other musically. We sing, dance, and play in ways that are fun while supporting the developing child. As the littlest music makers among us delight in musical play, the grownups create a sense of community through music. Each 45-minute class will fly by as we all become more confident music makers, together!

Class Session:

This fall, families will come together to sing, play, laugh, and learn with the Music Together Bongos Song Collection. The songs include lots of upbeat, active songs like “See How I’m Jumping,” our take on the timeless nursery rhyme “Hey, Diddle, Diddle,” and beautiful melodies such as the Japanese song “Hotaru Koi” and “Walking through the Woods.” In addition to your weekly classes, your registration includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app.

Music Together® Rhythm Kids®

Instructor: Rachel Stratton

Your child will have a great time drumming, singing, moving to new rhythms and engaging in and exploring other instruments, unique music activities, and music games especially designed for older children. This semester, we’ll explore the Hippo Rhythm with drumming patterns based on rhythms used in Gahu, the popular, recreational dance of the Ewe people of Ghana. We’ll learn 20 songs, including “Gahu Ee” a call-and-response song from the Ewe people of Ghana, Togo, and Benin in Western Africa and the traditional Andean folksong, “La vicuñita,” often heard in Peru, Chile, Bolivia, and Argentina. The “Hip Hop Hippo” rap will let children break out their hip-hop dance moves!

Class Session:

Important note: There will be djembe drums used in this class; we will provide instruments for use during class time. It is encouraged, but not required, that your child have a djembe drum to use at home. If you need an appropriate drum, we will have a high-quality djembe drum for purchase, or you may make your own arrangements for a drum.
