JOIN AND ENJOY THE BONGOS SONG COLLECTION THIS FALL
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.
What makes the Music Together program so special?
There is something very special about sharing the music class experience together as a family. Because Music Together is designed to be experienced just as much outside of class as in (you are given a songbook as well as access to the Music Together App, and The Family Music Zone) you'll likely find yourself living and breathing the songs from the collection on a daily basis. While this idea may seem somewhat daunting at first, you may quickly come to learn how easily the music can be used as a parenting tool to help calm a tense situation, encourage cooperation/listening, and of course entertain. The songs are simple, catchy and fun for the kids while being easy on the ear for adults.
What style of music is taught?
The music is pitched in just the right range for children’s voices and includes songs, rhythmic chants, tonal and rhythm patterns, and instrumental play-alongs, all in a rich variety of tonalities and meters. Original songs and arrangements by the program coauthors make the collections especially unique. Outstanding instrumentalists play a variety of instruments, such as guitar, bass, flutes, keyboards, and percussion.
Do I need to be musically inclined to take a class?
What's great about Music Together is that you can nurture the musical growth of your child, regardless of your own musical ability. The program is designed to involve the parent/caregiver in the music learning process. Classes build on your child's natural enthusiasm for music and movement and will help you to provide your child with the basic musical skills needed to enjoy school and social musical activities, and to study an instrument should he or she choose to do so. So you don't need a background in music to be able to enjoy and get the most out of the classes.
What can we expect from a Music Together class?
During each class, parents are encouraged to participate by singing and participating in dance/movements while allowing their child the freedom to participate at his/her own pace. You won't see a parent clapping their child's hands for them or telling their child that he/she isn't "doing it right". You will likely see children who may sit and just observe at first and you may see others who stray from the circle and sing/dance from several feet away. It is a very casual, warm and supportive environment. Read parent testimonials here!
