Fall 2026
Bongos collection
Fall registration is open for returning families! New family registration will begin August 17.
This fall, families will come together to sing, play, laugh, and learn with the Music Together Bongos collection. The songs include lots of upbeat, active songs like "See How I'm Jumping" and "City Blues," our jazzy version of the nursery rhyme "Hey, Diddle, Diddle" and the lilting Andean folk song "La Vicuñita," 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.
As always, grownups are indispensable to our musical time together; our emphasis is on the caregiver-to-child relationship. Small children are not expected to focus; rather, they are encouraged to respond spontaneously to the musical environment. We use singing, movement, rhythmic chants, instrument play, and lots of other ways to express ourselves musically during class. Children are welcome to move around the room, sit and watch, or dance while we're sitting. As long as their grownups are engaged in making music, the children are learning by their role model that music-making is a fun and valuable family activity.
The cost for the ten week session is $240 for one child and $125 for additional siblings. Siblings younger than one and older than five attend for free. New families please add a one-time new family registration fee of $10. Community center pricing may be different.
Join us and fill your family's summer with the magic of music, fun and friendship!
