A Keiki To-Do: Music Together
If you’re a local full-time or half-time resident looking for an activity you can do with your little ones that is as educational as it is fun, consider taking a Music Together Class. Music and music proficiency has long been associated with higher test scores, higher IQ, appropriate avenues of expression, a sense of confidence, better coordination, and more. And now there’s a way for parents who aren’t necessarily considered “musical” to pass along those gifts to their children. Music Together. (Tip: Even if you don’t live on the islands, but would like to try out a Music Together class with your child, some instructors offer classes on a walk-in basis.)
What is It?
Music Together is a series of musical-oriented sessions that teaches children from infancy to age 6 about the simple intricacies of music. Children learn in developmentally appropriate ways how to sing in tune, keep a beat, and appreciate the gifts of the music of our cultures.
What You Get
Each class includes a CD with songs you’ll work on in class, and a songbook with lyrics, music and more. You’ll also have plenty of fun with other children and their parents or caregivers.
Ohana Music Together currently only operates on Oahu, but if you were interested in starting your own Music Together classes, contact the national headquarters.
