Mixed Age Classes

Instructors: Melissa Ludwa, Annie Dastoli, Angie Biehl, Taylor Fox

Music Together® Mixed Age classes are for children from birth through age 5 and their parent(s) or caregiver. The Music Together® award-winning curriculum is used in a playful, developmentally appropriate environment that utilizes singing, moving, playing instruments, and making music in a fun 45-minute class. This type of music-making is shown to enhance higher-order thinking skills in our children, supporting all learning and providing an opportunity for children to attain basic music competence before learning an instrument.

WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO AMEND OUR POLICIES AT A LATER DATE IF CDC OR STATE GUIDELINES REQUIRE IT.

Mixed Age classes are held at Crescendo Academy of Music (Epic Center, 359 S. Kalamazoo Mall) and Mrs. O’s Preschool (8025 Moorsbridge Road).

Class Session:

In the Flute Song Collection, we’ll get out our instruments and play along to the jazzy original “Blue St. Pat,” search the “Pawpaw Patch,” and climb aboard the “Train to the City.” And those are only three of the twenty-five songs you’ll learn, which include Music Together originals and traditional songs. In addition to classes, your tuition includes a new songbook with beautiful color illustrations for each song, a newsletter full of resources and music-making ideas, and online access to your songs through the Hello Everybody app. Each song is brought to life through colorful and engaging illustrations by award-winning artist Jaime Kim and children’s book illustrator Gerald Kelley.

Rhythm Kids

Instructor: Melissa Ludwa

Rhythm Kids classes are for ages 4-6 and an adult. Your child will have a great time drumming, singing, moving to new rhythms, and playing sticks, egg shakers, and music games. This semester, we’ll explore the Hippo Rhythm with drumming patterns from Ghana, heard on “Gahu Ee.”” The “Hip Hop Hippo” rap will let children break out their hip-hop dance moves! We’ll also learn dance steps inspired by both the Ewe people of West Africa and the Andean natives of South America, whose music we will sing and dance to with another Rhythm Kids song “La Vicuñita.”

Music Together Babies

Instructor: Melissa Ludwa

Babies love music and are primed to be music-makers from an early age. 

Babies love music. This will come as no surprise to you if you’ve ever soothed your newborn to sleep with a lullaby or bounced him to the beat of your favorite song. But did you know your son or daughter is also a natural music–maker? It’s true: We are each born equipped to respond to music from a remarkably early age; there is a lot you can do to nurture your new little musician. Making music together from the very beginning will lead to a lifetime of shared musical enjoyment. The Music Together® Babies Class will start you on the path to becoming a musical family. Specifically designed for infants eight months and younger, this 10-week introduction to Music Together allows babies to embrace, enjoy, and express their inborn musicality.
