Basic Principles of the Music Together Philosophy

  • All children are musical.

  • All children can achieve basic music competence, which we have defined as the ability to sing in tune and move with accurate rhythm.

  • The participation and modeling of parents and caregivers, regardless of their musical ability, is essential to a child's musical growth.

  • This growth is best achieved in a playful, developmentally appropriate, non-performance-oriented learning environment that is musically rich yet immediately accessible to the child's and the adult's participation.
