We hope many families will join us for a joyful semester of music making for children and adults alike! We have worked hard to create a partnership with School District 191’s Community Education program, and we are thrilled to be able to reach families in Burnsville and Savage for the first time, as well as continuing classes at two locations in Eagan.

“All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of their culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Music Together brings families together by providing a rich musical environment in the classroom and facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home. Families get so much out of these classes,” Cheryl Hornstein explains.
