Music Together is a musical education program for children aged Newborn through second grade. First offered to the public in 1987, the program now has more than 3,000 locations in 40 different countries.
Since its inception, Music Together has emphasized the importance of having parents and caregivers actively participate in class with their children. This is based in part on the work of early childhood educator Lilian Katz, who believes that while children can learn skills and knowledge from any adult, they learn dispositions only from their loved ones; by participating in class as musical role-models, parents and caregivers help impart to their children the disposition to become lifelong music-makers.
