VALLEY CAT MUSIC

Every child’s development benefits from early exposure to music and movement. Because the early months are so important, Music Together offers two options for babies. Babies eight months and younger at the time of registration may attend a Mixed Ages Class, whether registered on their own or attending free with an older brother or sister. Babies eight months and under (who are not yet crawling/independently mobile) may also take the special "Babies Class" offered as a one-semester introduction to Music Together. (This class cannot be repeated.) The music activities and materials are specially designed for parents to interact with their babies and to learn about music development in infants. Meet other parents of newborns and learn some fascinating music activities you can recreate at home with your baby.

The Music Together Rhythm Kids program is a drumming-based curriculum that builds on Family-class experiences but is its own program. Classes are for children who are kindergarten-age through 2nd grade without parent (though parents are always welcome). Families will need to purchase their own djembe for home practice and to bring to class, though drums will also be provided in class. Videos are included in the Music Together app and online for Rhythm Kids families, and the music has been written/culled specifically for this program. Please take advantage of this special opportunity and tell your friends!

Valley Cat Music currently provides the Music Together In-School Curriculum to Almost Home Daycare in North Hollywood and is available to bring Music Together to your preschool, kindergarten/early elementary, daycare, or other educational institution that serves children up to age 8. Please contact Deborah Dietrich at valleycatmusic@gmail.com if you would like to schedule a meeting.
