Auburn Music Together
Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for infants,
toddlers, preschoolers, kindergarteners, and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987,
it pioneered the concept
of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement. Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical.
 
Our Teachers

are passionate about music and children and create a fun, engaging and educational classroom that supports each child's and parent's musical development.

"Teacher Beth is the best music together teacher that I ever
had. She is so patient with the kids and is so animated with them as
well. She keeps the kids interest. She keeps it very routine so the
kids always now what to expect. She keeps a very musical environment.
She lets them be kids! It is a very happy learning environment."
