Start your morning out this Fall singing with your little one!

Save a spot for your family and let's gather together to sing, play, laugh, and learn with the Music Together Bongos Song Collection.

The songs include lots of upbeat, active songs like "See How I'm Jumping," the timeless nursery rhyme "Hey, Di**le, Di**le," and beautiful melodies such as the Japanese song "Hotaru Koi" and "Walking through the Woods."

In addition to your weekly classes, your registration includes recordings and materials for you to use at home, including an illustrated songbook and access to the songs through the Music Together app. Hope to sing with you soon. 🙂

Fall registration begins tomorrow for our St. James in KIts and St. Stephen's in West Van Music Together classes!

Neuroscience research indicates that the human brain processes structured music as early as three months of age and the physical drive to synchronize movement with a beat typically develops toward the end of the first year of life.

Music learning truly begins in infancy. Even before babies can dance, their brains are listening, recognizing patterns, and building the neural pathways that support future movement, communication, and learning!

Join us at West Side Music Together and learn intentional ways to interact with your child musically.

Hearing stories from our Music Together® families always brightens our day! We love how the “together” in our name includes everyone—parents, siblings, and even grandparents! This is Jennifer, a dedicated grandmother who has been making music with her four grandkids across five cities and three countries since 2017! What a beautiful way to keep family bonds strong!

Jennifer believes music is vital to children's development and values how the program equips families to make music part of everyday life. Through classes, sing-alongs, and family traditions, Music Together has strengthened their relationships and inspired a lifelong love of music across generations.

Music is more than just fun—it’s a powerful tool for learning and development!

In our Music Together classes, children build important skills through singing, movement, rhythm play, and musical exploration. Participating in music-making helps strengthen memory, language development, listening skills, coordination, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

When children experience music in a playful, supportive environment, they're not only developing musically—they're growing cognitively, socially, emotionally, and physically too.

Come learn, play, and grow with us through the joy of music!

The benefits of music learning begin long before a child ever picks up an instrument.
From birth, babies are naturally wired to respond to rhythm, melody, and movement.

Music helps support language development, social-emotional growth, coordination, memory, and a lifelong love of learning.

Something as simple as singing through a daily routine can help children feel more secure, engaged, and connected. Whether it's putting on shoes, cleaning up toys, or transitioning between activities, music transforms ordinary moments into meaningful learning experiences.

At Music Together®, we nurture every child's innate musicality from the very beginning, giving families tools they can use every day to support development through joyful music-making.

Because music isn't just an activity—it's a powerful pathway for learning from birth and beyond.
