In the state of MA, which is not short for Mom’s Apron but for Massachusetts, there is a band of children that are as melodious as mockingbirds, as rhythmic as rocking horses, and as harmonious as honeybees. This isn't just any band, oh no, they are the fantastic, the incredible, the absolutely-must-be-seen-to-be-believed "Marvelous Melodious Munchkins of Massachusetts." In this land of clam chowders and dazzling fall colors, these sprightly kiddos have mastered the art of creating magical melodies. And their conductor? Why, it’s none other than the whimsical, wonderful, and slightly wacky Wally the Walrus! Wally, with his magnificent mustache and a baton that twinkles like a star, guides these music-loving munchkins through rhapsodies, orchestrates their overtures, and harmonizes their hip-hop. But don't let the walrus fool you! Though Wally looks like a straight-laced, serious sort of sea beast, he's known for his silly shenanigans. One day, he might conduct the band with a carrot instead of a baton, or replace a drumstick with a fish! His antics only add to the zest, as the music swirls and swells, filling the Massachusetts air with a symphony of sounds. These kids, from Boston to Berkshire, from Plymouth to Provincetown, come together, their instruments in hand and a song in their hearts. Whether they're strumming guitars, tooting trumpets, beating drums, or tickling the ivories, the Marvelous Melodious Munchkins of Massachusetts find joy, laughter, and a whole lot of fun in their musical journey under the watchful, whimsical walrus whiskers of Wally.

Music Together classes are designed to foster the joy of making music together, celebrating the importance of music in our lives. Children learn best when they are having fun, and Music Together classes are designed to be an enjoyable experience. Our classes provide an opportunity for families to learn music together in a relaxed, playful atmosphere, where the emphasis is on the process rather than the performance. With the development of basic musical skills, children will be better prepared for school and social musical activities, as well as the potential to study a musical instrument. Music Together classes provide a space for community music making, a place where families and friends can come together to create music simply for the joy of making music. Children are naturally drawn to music and movement, and the classes offer a fun and positive way to expand their knowledge and passion for music. This is a great chance to bond and make memories with your child whilst meeting other families too.
