This new online version allows not only caregivers, but also grandparents and siblings, to join the fun remotely.
The online version includes favorite Music Together songs and activities. Young music-makers, who are constantly up and moving, taking in lots of wonderful musical information throughout the session, are encouraged to use homemade instruments and props from around their homes, include homemade shakers and drums, wooden spoons, scarves, and balls. Metal water bottles work well as resonator bells. Special online class activities include singing about each child’s stuffed animals, play food from their kitchen, toys in their toy box!
According to SSC Music Together Director Karen Peterson, current families are raving about the experience. The King family said, “Music Together Online is so great! Our three and one-year-old are just as captivated by it as when the classes were in person! We love the music, and getting to see Karen and our friends each week! We still get to sing and dance with all our friends, and you get a great CD and music book! Our kids have learned so much from Music Together! We LOVE Music Together Online, and we recommend it to all our friends!”
