Music Together Program
Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for preschool children. It is based on the recognition that all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat and participate with confidence. Music is learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the unique style of very young children. Parents or caregivers participate with the children.
Central to the Music Together approach is that young children learn best from the powerful role model of parents/caregivers who are actively making music. The program brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home within the context of daily life.
Music Together is committed to helping families, caregivers, and early childhood professionals rediscover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences. All our teachers have successfully completed Music Together’s training program. Music Together applies the latest research in early childhood music development to the program. A curriculum pioneer since 1987.
Moving Mountains for Children has subsidized over $4000 to bring this program to fruition. Funds have gone towards formal teacher training, licensing and provision of instruments. For more information and to register, please visit www.whistlerisrecreation.com
