Join us for a unique family music experience in one of our small, supportive Music Together classes especially for children with special needs. Research studies suggest that music facilitates cognitive and emotional growth and stimulates social interaction, and playing musically together is a wonderful family bonding experience. Through guided musical experiences in weekly 45-minute classes, parents and children will find new ways to explore music and express themselves.

At Music Together, music is learned through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the learning styles of all participants. Everyone is encouraged to participate at their own developmental level. You and your children will become part of a community of families sharing songs, instrument play, and movement activities in a relaxed, non-performance-oriented setting. In addition to ten weeks of fun, musically rich classes, you will receive two copies of this semester’s recording and an illustrated songbook so you can continue the family music-making at home.

Our Special Needs classes are for children with disabilities ages birth through 7. You are encouraged to enroll siblings as well, and sibling discounts apply. To ensure the best experience for everyone, the maximum enrollment is 6 families per class, so register quickly as spaces are very limited.

This class will be taught by Rebecca (Becky) Geary.  Rebecca is a certified Music Together teacher and a CT Certified music teacher K-12 & parent of a child on the autism spectrum.
