Music Together Babies 0 - 8 Mont

Music Together Babies 0 - 8 Months

TCU Music Together® Babies Class is designed for parents/caregivers and their children 8 months or younger. All children benefit developmentally from early exposure to music and movement. Because the early months are so important, TCU Music Prep offers two options for babies. Children 4 months or younger may attend for free with an older sibling registered in a Mixed Ages Class. Or, children 8 months and younger may take a special one-semester Babies Class designed to introduce both parent and child to Music Together. Our Babies Class provides a safe and encouraging environment for parents to learn about the musical development of their infant. Music and activities in the class are designed with babies in mind, and families will have the opportunity to enjoy these musical activities at home. Classes meet for 45 minutes once a week for 12 weeks in the fall, 10 weeks in winter and spring, and 8 weeks in the summer. Class size is a minimum of 5 babies and a maximum of 8 babies.

    Music Together In-Person Mixed Ages 0 - 4 Years

    Music Together® Mixed Ages 0-4yr is designed for parents/caregivers and their children up through age 5. By grouping children of varying ages, along with their adult caregivers and teachers, each child will discover the joyful world of music in a family setting. This approach fosters natural, family-style learning where younger children enjoy watching and imitating older children and adults, and the older children learn by leading as examples for the younger children. Babies four months and younger may attend the Mixed Ages class for free with their registered older sibling. Please call our Extended Ed office at 817-257-7132 to register them for class. Musical activities include singing, moving and dancing, chanting, listening, observing, and exploring instruments. Each child participates at his or her own developmental level. Every semester includes a new collection of music with a wide variety of musical styles that both children and parents can enjoy. This 45-minute Mixed Ages class will meet once a week for 12 weeks in the fall, 10 weeks in winter and spring, and 8 weeks in the summer with backup support on Facebook. Class size is a minimum of 3 children and a maximum of 8 children.

    Generations is a Mixed Ages 0-4yr class held in a Retirement, Assisted Living or Nursing home environment. These classes are a "Win-Win" for all, because, regardless of age, spirits are lifted, learning across multiple domains is stimulated, and meaningful connections are made. Children and families, especially those without extended family nearby, discover the value of intergenerational relationships and become more comfortable engaging with older adults. Elder participants enjoy witnessing children’s joyful music-making and find a sense of purpose in being a part of young children’s learning, which combats isolation and depression. The partner facility is grateful to be able to offer a cutting-edge, high-quality intergenerational program to its residents. This 45-minute Mixed Ages class will meet once a week for 12 weeks in the fall, 12 weeks in spring, and 8 weeks in the summer. Questions? Janis Janes - j.janes@tcu.edu
