Music Together With Ms. Mary

A recent study shows that families participating in Music Together classes demonstrated statistically significant increases in parental sensitivity compared to a control group. Translation? The time you intentionally set aside for Music Together isn’t “just a class.” It’s an investment in connection, emotional intelligence, and parental confidence in meeting your child’s needs.

When you and your child chant or rhythmically recite a poem, nursery rhyme, or even your own made-up words, you’re engaging in an important activity for your child’s rhythm development. Since there is no melody in a chant, your child can thoroughly experience the rhythmic elements without having to learn a melody as well. Read more on our website about the benefits of music, movement, and rhythm–for you and your little one! https://www.musictogether.com/parents/benefits-for-every-age?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=02122026

Did you know that those back-and-forth babbling conversations you have with your baby are key to their development? (It’s called “serve-and-return.”) You can do it with music, too! Sing a little bit of a song, then stop and see what your baby does. When they respond, it’s their way of saying, “Your turn now!” Keep the musical convo going to keep supporting their learning with music.

Did you know? Singing familiar songs is also incredibly beneficial for elders with any type of memory loss. Neuroscience researchers and music therapists have long studied the role that music plays in the health and aging experiences of seniors suffering from memory and thought-processing issues, particularly associated with Alzheimer’s disease or dementia. You can find more on the value of music on our Resources page: https://www.musictogether.com/about/research/resources?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=12222025
