Music Together ®

Each of Music Together’s nine song collections contains 25 songs.  And, every one of those songs is unique, not only for their wide variety of tonalities, meters, and musical styles but also for their outstanding arrangements—which appeal to both children and their grownups.

When you’re a parent, you want to give your young child the very best. That means you want to expose them to every possible opportunity to learn and grow. At Pakachoag, this starts with Music Together, creating a bond through music. Since 1983, Pakachoag has introduced thousands of children and parents to the joys of music-making and the powerful benefits of having music in their lives through Music Together.

Today, it’s common for us to only listen to music rather than create it ourselves. But actively making music is so important for children’s music and overall development. That’s why Pakachoag’s MT program has never been more essential.

We know, through long-standing research, that children learn best through active exploration as well as live, meaningful interaction with the grownups they love. That’s why Music Together lets us take out the earbuds and pick up the instrument we were all given at birth—ourselves!

Additionally, Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical.
That’s why our classes are appropriate for every child, aged birth through 5.  With MT Rhythm Kids, we extend the learning for children ages 5 to 8 years.

MT Rhythm Kids follows through on the Music Together® vision to help children complete the pathway of early childhood music development from birth through age eight.

As a music school with more than 40 years of experience in teaching music to students of all ages, Pakachoag is in a unique position to offer this program as an extension of our music instruction programs. That long-standing experience in music educations means that our Music Together instructors are carefully selected to ensure that they will bring your child (or grandchild, if you are a grandparent) the most the MT program has to offer.

At Pakachoag, we believe in Music for Life, your entire life, so it’s never too early to start.

We recognize that music classes and  lessons are an investment for families on tight budgets.  We consistently hear from parents that their investment pays off in terms of their child’s development.

Here are a few reasons to make Music Together at Pakachoag part of your child’s on-going education based on a large body of research which proves that early, positive and age-appropriate experiences with music enhance a child’s:

• Language and literacy skills (vocabulary, comprehension, listening, expression);
• Social and emotional development;
• Mathematics and pattern-recognition skills;
• Ability to plan, guide, and self-regulate behavior;
• Comfort and success as a maker of music – the simple joy of music that lasts a lifetime

Repeated participation throughout the early childhood years is most beneficial, laying a firm foundation for musical success in learning an instrument during the school years.
