Music Together™ at Barthelmes Conservatory

Classes for late Spring and Summer are forming now!

Music Together™ is the oldest, established parent and infant/toddler music exploration and experiential program in the country.  This program for infants, toddlers, pre-school age children and the adults who love them is the entry point to engage families with music at the most critical point in childhood development when the foundation for listening and learning is first established.  Music Together™ is offered at the Barthelmes Conservatory on a weekly basis with certified Music Together™ instructors and materials.

The next ten-class series begins Tuesday, April 10, 2012, at 9:30 A.M. with Ms. Cynthia. This class will continue every Tuesday at 9:30 A.M. through June 12, 2012.  The cost for one child and parent/caretaker is $14 per 45-minute class.  There is a single, materials fee of $39 for each family.  A second or subsequent child is an additional $12 per class.  Infants attending with older children are free up to eight months old.  Classes are limited to ten children and adults, so register soon by calling 918 794-0330.

We will post additional class schedules shortly.  Join us for the musical fun!
