Mixed Ages
This is the essential Music Together® class, one that a child can attend from birth through kindergarten—and through all nine song collections (and beyond!). This basic class follows the recommendations of child development researchers—grouping children of a variety of ages in one class. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older ones; older children learn by leading younger ones; and adults are happy because the children in the family can go to class together. Each child participates at his or her own developmental level in singing, moving, chanting, listening, observing, or exploring musical instruments.
We welcome the whole family to join in this important family music experience and any caregiver—parents, grandparents, nanny—can bring the child(ren) to class.

Babies
Every child’s development benefits from early exposure to music and movement. Because the early months are so important, Music Together offers two options for babies. Babies eight months and younger at the time of registration may attend a Mixed Ages Class, whether registered on their own or attending free with an older brother or sister. Babies eight months and under (who are not yet crawling/independently mobile) may also take the special "Babies Class" offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together. (This class cannot be repeated.)
The music activities and materials are specially designed for parents to interact with their babies and to learn about music development in infants. Meet other parents of newborns and learn some fascinating music activities you can recreate at home with your baby.
Java & Jammies
Share a cup o' joe with other parents of early risers at this Saturday morning pajama class in Studio City (you're still welcome if you manage to get yourselves dressed first)! This is a mixed-age class (see description above). I will have coffee brewing at the front counter, so bring your favorite travel mug (with a lid), a blankie for the kiddo, and cuddle up for some super-fun musical adventuring before your day takes off.
Adult Guitar Class
Join other parents or teachers from class to learn beginning guitar using the songs from your current Music Together collection. This is a mixed-stage class, so students who have never played before can learn next to folks who are dusting off an old friend and reminding themselves how all those chords go... all without children and in the company of like-minded grownups. It's a fun time and open only to current registrants/teachers and their spouses. Classes begin the third week of the session and are held in the evening at a time that works for everyone interested.

Mixed ages
Children birth to 5 years with parent(s) or caregiver. Enjoy ten weeks of music immersion with singing, dancing, chants and fingerplays, instrument play, jam sessions, and improvisation in a supportive, community environment.
This is the essential Music Together class, one that a child can attend from birth through age five—and through all nine distinct song collections. Teachers lead informal instruction where children may or may not participate as they choose and do so according to their developmental level. This class is freely mixed with ages from birth to age five where the activities focus on adult-child interaction rather than child-child. Many childhood educators consider mixed-age groupings beneficial, and the process of music development throughout this age range is similar.
Babies
This class is designed for parents and their pre-crawling infants eight months and younger at the time of registration.
