Our readers will LOVE this opportunity to engage musically with their children this season, beginning right now! Every week in music classes at Prelude Music Classes for Children, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them come together to play musically. Little ones love playing along in class, and caregivers love being a part of their children's growth into confident music-makers. And everyone loves the award-winning collections of songs that'll have you tapping along in no time. Music Together is the perfect family activity!
During this time of uncertainty and stress, and as families all over the world shelter at home for the safety of their friends, families, and neighbors, Prelude Music Classes for Children has transitioned to offering Music Together Online® classes in Spring 2020: An Unusual Solution. With Music Together Online, families will have access to the same high-quality music and movement curriculum loved by millions of families and teachers around the world—from home!
From babyhood through the early elementary years, Music Together nurtures each child's natural musicality in a playful, musically rich learning environment. These research-based music classes are designed to be non-formal and non-performance oriented, so children can learn at their own pace, in a way that's developmentally appropriate.
During Spring 2020: An Unusual Solution, teachers from Prelude Music Classes will lead activities for you and your whole family to sing, play, and jam along to. Teachers will show you how to turn everyday items like dish towels, pots, and stuffed animals into musical props! Classes are appropriate for children under 5, with a special class for parents with babies under 9 months—but the whole family is welcome (and encouraged!) to participate!
When you enroll, you will receive access to the Prelude Parent Portal, a code to download your music through the award-winning Hello Everybody app, a hard-copy songbook and CD, and an invitation to a private Facebook group where classes will be live-streamed daily in both the morning and afternoon, and where you can connect with other enrolled parents.

This package of online music experiences and resources creates a comprehensive music-learning program for young children of the highest caliber: just as you would expect from Music Together.
We know that children learn differently than adults. They learn instinctively and constantly, and teach themselves through imitation and play, through being immersed in their environment, and through interaction with adults and older children. You are your child's most important music teacher right now! Young children learn through play and experimentation and by watching and listening to the grownups they love. Setting an example as an enthusiastic participator in music activities is the best thing any parent or caregiver can do to help set a child on the road to a lifelong love of music. Parents don't need to have music skills---they just need a desire to play and have fun with their children! Most children will not follow what is happening on the screen because they are in learning mode! Some children will wisely chose to watch, others may dance, others might run around the house, others might sing, others might play with toys, but if you're doing it with the class, they will learn. Even if they are not looking at the screen, if they see you following what the teacher is doing, they will learn in their own ways.
Wiggling, singing, and laughing with your child is so much fun, it's easy to forget how much learning is taking place! Prelude's research-based curriculum not only develops music skills, it nurtures creativity, self-expression, and confidence while also supporting social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development.
Prelude knows that Music Learning Supports All Learning™. Prelude believes in the power of music to change lives and relationships for the better. And, Prelude believes in the power of community to transform the world into a more peaceful, empathetic, and understanding place. Parenthood is hard, exhausting, and can sometimes be frustrating, but it is absolutely SO rewarding. During this time of uncertainty and stress, it is vital to have a community of people around you that supports and encourages you and that you can support and encourage in return. Because, as you probably know, the old adage is true - it does take a village!
