During the class period, children and their caregivers play with music and movement exploring a diverse range of sound and rhythm.  There will be three sections of the class: a Tuesday 9:20 a.m., a Tuesday, 10:20 a.m., and a Wednesday 9:20 a.m.  New Families: $200, Siblings: $160 Children 9 months and younger attend free with a registered sibling.  Registration is due by September 14.  Classes begin September 28.  More information available online.

My name is Michael Showalter and I'm setting up a small Music Together center on H street this fall at the Douglas Memorial Church at 800 11th Street, N.E. It's the big red church on the corner of H and 11th NE. www.mistermikesmusic.com

Classes meet for 45 minutes each week for 10 weeks. During the class period, children and their caregivers play with music and movement exploring a diverse range of sound and rhythm. Caregiver participation provides an atmosphere that allows children to freely explore music and dance. Music Together classes allow parents and young children the chance to explore their relationship in a musical way. In addition, the diversity of music provides a strong musical foundation for future formal instruction.

I've been involved in music for as long as I can remember. Once my wife and I had children I became interested in how children develop musically. Music Together classes are especially fun for parents because they provide us with a way to observe musical development in our children as they play.

Mike Showalter
