That’s right: It’s never too early to start our music classes! \nMaybe you’ve noticed that your baby responds when you play a song in the car or sing to soothe him. Babies are naturally musical—and you don’t have to be a great singer or dancer yourself to nurture their love of music. In this music class for babies\, your Music Together teacher will show you how you can support your baby’s music development through simple and fun activities. You’ll learn lots of musical ways to connect with your little one through music\, and you’ll bond with the other new parents in your class\, too. \nFamilies with infants are welcome in this class until their baby begins to crawl with confidence. At that point they can move up to the Mixed Age class. Older children are NOT allowed in this class at any time.
