When you give the gift of music, you know you are giving something that will never get old or broken or forgotten in a closet. The gift of music lasts a lifetime, especially when given early in your child’s developmental years.
Your child probably won’t grow up to be a global pop star or concert pianist (though, who knows?!). They can grow up to be a confident music-maker, since we are ALL born with the capacity to learn to sing and dance as part of everyday life.
One day, maybe your little one will try out for the school musical. Maybe they will confidently lead a rousing “Happy Birthday!” at every family celebration. Or sing Christmas Carols around the piano every year. Whatever it means to your child, a lifetime of music begins with your support while they’re little. And it’s so easy for you to support this growth now. Sign up for a class with Let’s Play Music Together and start making music as a family!

“Moving together, dancing together with other people, getting a sense of rhythm, drumming together, singing together, making music — helps to reestablish that sense of community and being in sync with the people around you.” This quote from Dr. Bessel Van der Kolk, author of The Body Keeps the Score, shows us the value of taking a music class with your children. He goes on to say that this is “at the core of what creates a healthy mind and a healthy brain.”
For Spring Sessions Let’s Play! Music Together in Eagan, is offering In-Person classes, Online classes and Asynchronous classes that will get your toes tapping and your children singing along.
Music Together and Rhythm Kids classes support child development across all areas of learning. Social, spatial, fine and gross motor development as well as pre-reading and math skills are all enhanced with exposure to music.
The Music Together Family Class designed for children from Birth to age 5 allows all children to embrace, enjoy, and express their inborn musicality. In your weekly class, you will spend forty-five music-filled minutes singing, dancing, and playing with your child. You’ll learn how your child is developing musically and how you can support this growth at home.
In the Rhythm Kids program, children ages 4-8 will experience and participate in singing, drumming, dancing and conducting. Classes naturally support children’s rhythm development and help them prepare for formal music lessons. Children play dynamic musical games, work in ensembles, explore solo singing and drumming, and experiment with improvisation and conducting.
Cheryl Hornstein, Center Director of Eagan’s Let’s Play! Music Together said, “When a family starts making music together early in their child's life, their relationship to music changes, and they begin to recognize that they are indeed a musical family!
Free Trial classes are available now. All programs include songbooks, CD, digital downloads and online resources to help families continue the music at home. More information is available at www.LPmusictogether.com and on Facebook at www.facebook.com/LetsPlayMusicTogether
Classes are offered through the City of Eagan Parks and Recreation program.
