This FAMILY-STYLE class is for MIXED AGES. Families who have one or more children in the age range of 0-5 years old. 

Child development researchers have found that grouping together children of varying ages fosters natural, family-style learning. The hallmark of the Music Together program, our Mixed-age Class gives children the environment they need to grow musically while interacting both socially and musically with peers of different ages. Younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because their children can go to class together. And any of your child's caregivers—parents, grandparents, nannies—can share in the experience, both in class and at home.

At Music Together® in the park, you’ll have access to the same high-quality music and movement curriculum loved by millions of families and teachers around the world! Your Music Together teacher will lead musical activities for the whole family to sing, play, move and jam along to. Even though we're outside, each class has been designed as an active music-making experience you and your little one to connect through music. Bring your blanket and your instruments to the park and let us lead you and your family through 45 minutes of singing, dancing, and jamming with your community.

Classes are appropriate for children under 5, but the entire family is welcome (and encouraged!) to participate in the musical fun.

WHAT TO BRING TO CLASS

• Instruments for you and your child to make some music with - something to CLICK (sticks), something to SHAKE (shakers), and something to SWISH (scarves). Home-made and other favourite play-along instruments are welcome! 
• A blanket to sit on - your blanket should be large enough to accommodate your entire family group!

PLEASE DO NOT

• Assume everyone is comfortable with physical interaction right away. If your child is wandering over to another family, check in with that family as to whether they are ok with sharing their space!
• Leave items around that children might be distracted by (phones, hats, water bottles). As much as possible, keep loose objects in a bag or stroller.

PLEASE DO

• Wash your hands or use the provided sanitizing station before the start of class.
• Place your blanket on an assigned spot and resist the urge to huddle around the teacher at the start of the class.
• Sit or stand with your child as necessary. If children start to wander away, please redirect them. Feel free to scoop them up and dance on your blanket at any time or walk away from the circle and sing from a distance if children need to move around.
• Wear a mask if it will make you feel more comfortable. We are leaving this decision up to each family.
• Come prepared for the weather! We will only cancel classes if the forecast calls for HEAVY rain - so bring your umbrellas and rainboots and be prepared to sing and dance even if it's sprinkling outside.

Sing, dance and have fun!

Bring you whole family and join us for a holiday sing-a-long!! We will be singing some Music Together favourites with some famous holiday songs mixed in! Come dressed in your favourite holiday attire and connect with other musical families.
