South Bay Music Together Program

Music Together

South Bay Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music program for babies, toddlers, and preschoolers and the adults who love them. First offered to the public in 1987, it pioneered the concept of a research-based, developmentally appropriate early childhood music curriculum that strongly emphasizes and facilitates adult involvement. Music Together classes are based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. South Bay Music Together has had the joy of bringing music to hundreds of families across the South Bay since 2011. Instructor: Cristina Davis (310) 853-0705
