Each week in Music Together® Mixed-Age Classes at Music in The Beat Hive, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them® gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time. Miss Meghan will lead you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments, of course). It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place!

Why the Music Together® Mixed-Age Class Format?

Child development researchers discovered that grouping children of different ages in one class encourages natural, family-style learning, so Music Together developed the Mixed-Age Music Class. In this class, everyone participates at their own levels: babies vocalize, listen, and observe; toddlers play and experiment; and preschoolers build confidence as they emerge as classroom leaders. Grownups are happy because everyone can come to class together.

Siblings can learn alongside one another, younger children can learn from older classmates, and older children can help inspire the younger students. This approach helps foster community through classes by inviting everyone to make Music Together!
