- Music Together® Classes (0-5 yrs)
 Music Together® is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, preschoolers,
and the adults who love them.
First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement.
Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. In our family oriented classes the adults create a weekly music making event for their children. Because each family receives CD’s of the music from class, the parents and children are able to take the experience home and continue the process of music learning through play.
Lyrical Children Inc. offers classes in several locations from Setauket to Southold. Class times vary but include daytime, evening and weekend offerings. For more information visit our Music Together page.
- Music Together Preschool Programs (1-5 yrs)
 Let us bring the Music Together Preschool curriculum to your preschool.
This research based program aligns with standards set by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and supports the Head Start Performance Standards. Many schools have a music program, but these programs usually fall somewhere along a spectrum, with music education at one end and music entertainment at the other. The Music Together preschool music program, incorporates music education into the daily classroom routine. Music then becomes an essential part of the preschool’s core curriculum. Call us for more information.
