Babies: Join an interactive music class for new parents in this special class for babies 0-1. You'll also learn to recognize which of your baby's behaviors are musical so that you can support their development at the time when your baby's brain is at its most receptive. Singing and dancing with your baby is a beautiful way for the two (or three) of you to bond. And making music with other parents of newborns is a great way to make new friends in your community who are as sleep-deprived as you! 

Mixed Ages: A music class for babies through five-year-olds and the grownups that love them! A trained Music Together^® teacher leads a 45-minute class of singing, dancing and playing kid-friendly percussion instruments. The award-winning music, illustrated songbook, and online resources will help you continue the music-making at home and nurture your child's musical growth- despite your perception of your own musical abilities. The mixed age makeup of class mimics a family environment and allows all children to learn at their own pace in a relaxed environment. 

(Not Currently Offered) Music Together Sing Shalom: 

The weekly parent-child music classes are uniquely designed for families with young children (birth-age 5) using the internationally recognized Music Together early childhood music education program, enriched with Jewish songs and activities. Each week, a community of families comes together to sing, dance, and play in a class led by a trained Music Together teacher with a Jewish background. The music in a Sing Shalom class includes your favorite multi-cultural traditional and original Music Together songs supplemented with a new Jewish repertoire. This new Jewish collection of songs combines familiar (and not so familiar) songs that help parents introduce a rich Jewish heritage to their children and each semester (Fall, Winter, Spring) features a new set of supplemental songs. 

Families will learn lots of ways to interact musically with their child, while supporting their development, strengthening family relationships, and helping them connect with the Jewish music tradition. Parents value the high quality music class with the opportunity to expose their children to Jewish music and culture through songs and activities. 

Music Together Sing Shalom classes are offered in partnership with local Music Together centers and are an exclusive offering of Music Together in collaboration with The Jewish Education Project. Our classes are hosted by the Young Families program of Alexandria/Arlington at Agudas Achim.

Rhythm Kids^®: A music class for your big kid! Drum, sing, move and play to rhythms inspired by musical traditions from all around the world! Big kids know what they like. Telling silly stories. Playing games. Being in charge. Designed specifically for pre-K and early elementary students, our active Rhythm Kids^® classes for big kids tap into how children this age are wired to learn, with music games, animal rhythm stories, and lots of stomping-flying-climbing fun.

Students learn to compose, choreograph, and conduct as they play—and play with!—a variety of musical instruments: West African djembe drums, percussion instruments, and, the most important instruments of all, their voices and their bodies. As your big kid learns to think and create like a musician, they’ll also build musical connections to the global community. Classes include:

• immersion in the musical language of many cultures
• playful music games with rules
• opportunities to lead, balanced with opportunities to collaborate
• deep exposure to complex, fun, and rockin' music
• many chances to solo, improvise, and work in ensembles
• rich, creative experimentation and expression, improvisation, and innovation
