Summer ‘blahs’? Try Summer tra- la las!

www.musictogetherofcharlotte.com

I attended MUSIC TOGETHER classes for years with my own three kids!   If you have kids birth to five, this program is a godsend. My oldest was a Music Together child, and he’s already playing violin at age 5. Some of my fondest memories are from those classes, and we still sing songs from the collections.

Music Together is a 30-year old, research based, early childhood music program whose mission is to bring music into everyday family life. The teachers are well-trained to make the class flow and be a lot of fun, and most families attend classes for multiple sessions.  

The summer session is a once-weekly 45-minute class for six weeks, starting
June 10. And, because of travel plans, they have a generous make-up policy so you needn’t worry about missing class.  Locations are in Dilworth, Lake Wylie, Davidson and South Charlotte.  ‘Like’ them on Facebook- they post interesting and funny items about music.
