Supportive Family Classes - for children with special needs

At Music Together®, we know all children are musical!

 

Families with children with disabilities or special needs often find that Music Together classes fill their need for a welcoming, community-based experience the whole family can enjoy. However, some families with children with disabilities or special needs may find a smaller, more intimate classroom environment (six families or fewer) to be a better fit. Our Supportive Family Classes are an extension of the Music Together philosophy of accepting and including all participants, but are customized to the needs of the participants and run by a qualified teacher.

 

 Research studies suggest that music facilitaties cognitive and emotional growth and stimulates social interaction, and playing musically together is a wonderful family bonding experience.  Through guided musical experiences in weekly 45-minute classes, parents and children will find new ways to explore music and express themselves.

 

At Music Together, music is learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the learning styles of all participants.  Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own developmental level.  You and your children will become part of a community of families sharing songs, instrument play, and movement activities in a relaxed, non-perfomance-oriented setting.  

 

Our Supportive Family classes are for children with disabilities ages birth through early elementary.  Siblings are welcome to register as well.  To ensure the best experience for everyone, the maximum enrollment is 6 families per class.

**These classes should not be considered individual music therapy.  There is no assessment or ongoing monitoring of students' needs.**
