Music Together® with Tara Vesprini
Come Parents, Caregivers, and the children you love…let’s make Music Together!
Weekly music classes for children, birth-kindergarten, and the adults who love them. Music Together provides every child an opportunity to develop basic music competence by encouraging actual, active music participation, rather than learning information about music. Children and their adults will sing, chant, play instruments and engage in movement activities in a nurturing environment. Classes are designed for mixed ages so young siblings can participate together. Come make Music Together with our growing community of music makers and experience the joy music adds to your family!
