My daughter, Giovanna, and I are currently enrolled in Cheryl's fall session in Norton and we absolutely LOVE it.  We have thoroughly enjoyed the past nine weeks with Cheryl!  It is easy to see that she enjoys teaching and has a true passion for music.  She is AMAZING!!  My daughter loves the music and even though she is only 14 months, she always requests the CD when we are in the car!!  She loves it and so do I!  I find myself listening to it even after she is at daycare for the day and I am on my way to work.  Cheryl gave me the Music Together magnetic decal for my car and I proudly display it!

How amazing it has been to remember that my daughter began singing strings of lyrics before she really began putting two words together conversationally.  Since she started the Music Together mixed ages program at 20 months I have seen her grow so much with music in her life.  I've always known she's enjoyed it, but now this semester, at age 2, I've really witnessed her evolution with it.  Whether she's strumming a big red wiffle ball bat, opening and closing her fists while singing "open and shut", or inserting her own custom lyrics to familiar melodies, she is really excited about music. As her mother, I feel so excited that she has found something that brings her such joy, and I also feel proud that it's something as wonderful as music. My husband and I really look forward to continuing to encourage her musical development. We feel so happy to have found you, Gwyn!

We started attending Music Together when my daughter was nine months old.  She is four years old now, so we have "grown up" in the program.  We look forward to our Monday mornings with "Miss Gwyn" and our music class friends, and we enjoy making music throughout the day.  I love that my daughter is as comfortable singing to the cashier at the grocery store, as she is singing a lullaby with me at bedtime.  We've done other activities (playgroups, gymnastics, dance, etc.), but by far, Music Together is our favorite!

"I heard of music together through a friend at my school.  My daughter and I were signed up for an infant gymboree class, swim lessons and the music class.  I was unsure of the music class because I had never heard of it before.  I absolutely love coming to the music class and Hannah is enjoying it more and more.  It's our favorite class that we go to! I can see Hannah beginning to do little things, such as banging the instruments, clapping and smiling at Gwyn or Cheryl."

"Music Together classes are a great way to introduce a variety of different
music types to my daughter. We love singing and dancing to the cd at home
and then hearing them together at class."

"I love dancing with Miss Gwyn. That's my favorite part."

"We both loved our Music Together class! I felt
it was a great experience for my son educationally, and also a wonderful
place to make new friends."

My son Brian's favorite: "Parachute!"

"Music Together has been a wonderful place for the entire family.
We have seen such individual growth in our three young children in a
relatively small amount of time.
Our youngest child has really taken off musically. She's learning so
much
so quickly...the music has helped bridge the gap between babbling and
talking or in her case, singing.
It is truly a family affair!"

"My children love going Music Together and having the music at home! We use
the songs and books to enjoy quality time together as well as to get through
our everyday routines. Through the classes, I've picked up on ways to
integrate songs into clean-up, bath time, bed time, etc which makes it much
easier and fun for the kids! I also love hearing my children sing! They have
learned tonal patterns, pitch and rhythm skills which make them love to sing
and enjoy music!"

"I have been taking my daughter to Music
Together with Gwyn Marini now for over 2 years. She thrives on the
classes. She has had a superb introduction to music, singing,
participating in group activities, and being part of a class. Hardly a
day goes by when she does not either sing a Music Together song, listen
to a CD, play an instrument, or ask me "Mommy, when are we going to see
Ms. Gwyn???"

My daughter has really enjoyed music together. She has been going since she was 5 months old and loves to sing, dance, and play instruments. She gets excited when I play her cds in the car and she recognizes a song from class and actually starts to do the dances or gestures that go with the song. She always makes the cats with her hands when the 2 little kitty cat song comes on. My husband and I also enjoy in sharing this musical experience with Zoë

A joyful experience to be with my 2yr old
and 8 month old dancing, singing, and making memories.
I don't know of a better place to be Monday mornings
for all of us. We Love It! Gwyn has given the gift of
music to our family.

I first heard about Music Together about three years ago, and ever since our first demonstration class, we have been hooked. If I could pick only one activity for my children to be involved in, Music Together would be the one I would choose. With an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler, it is not easy to find an activity that all of my children can enjoy together. I love that it is something that we can all do, and no matter what kind of day we are having, everyone always feels better during and after the class. We listen to the music on CD over and over in the car, and it is something that no one ever tires of. The songs are fun to sing, without being silly, like some children's music is today. And even more importantly, the songs are such that children's voices can actually sing all of the notes. My children really look forward to class every week - they LOVE Gwyn!! Her experience really shows in her rapport with children and their caregivers. It is so important to supplement our children's early education with activities involving music and movement, and I am convinced that this is the best way to do it! I really just can't say enough about Gwyn and her program.

We started attending Music Together when Caitlin was 7 months old and she benefitted from the experience right away. Now, at almost 2, she requests "Caitlin's songs" all the time and jumps up and down when I tell her it's time for music class. She particularly enjoys mastering the finger movements associated with some songs. "Play Along" with all of the instruments is a big hit, too. I would recommend Music Together to any parents looking for a new way to spend quality time with their children.

We decided to enroll in Music Together with our two-year old because we were looking for an alternate family activity from swim class. I originally picked Music Together because they were the only program in the area (I live in Easton) offering this sort of instruction on the weekends. I have been thrilled with the program as a whole and Gwyn as a teacher.

The music in the program is of very high quality. Unlike some kids music that is so grating and saccharine I might crash the car if it's playing while I drive, this music is mature, appropriate, diverse, and engaging. We all enjoy singing these songs and I appreciate the program's inclusion of music from diverse cultural backgrounds. It's also wonderful that the CDs are included in the registration fee. You get two CDs - one for the car and one for at home which is such a courteous thing to do since it would be a pain to constantly transfer the CD. I would note to prospective parents that in order to get the most of our the Music Together classes, it is important to listen to the CDs outside of class to familiarize yourself and your child with the songs. Some songs are classics (I've Been Working On the Railroad") but many are specific to the program and/or lesser known. It helps to be familiar with them when you get to class and sing and do activities related to the songs.

The classes are terrific. Unlike swim classes, I feel we are actually benefitting from having a teacher present and there is actual, and very high quality, instruction provided. The children learn how to enjoy music, by singing, playing, dancing, using balls and other props, and playing musical instruments. Several parents in our class had children of different ages enrolled, and it was very easy to engage all of the children, from infants to five-year-olds. Gwyn in particular was a fabulous teacher - she was enthusiastic and knew just how and when to engage a child. She was also very respectful of children who needed time to warm up before actively participating in the activities.

Overall, I can't say enough positive things about this program. After we tried a class, I emailed all the moms I knew in the area and told them how wonderful it was. 3 of them immediately signed up and enjoyed the classes as well. Though these classes are more expensive than your standard Saturday morning swim class, I feel like I get a lot more of what I pay for in terms of materials, quality of instruction, and overall benefit to my daughter.

Just wanted to say how much my kids enjoy the Music Together class.  It is a great way for them to learn and experience music on so many fronts.  They enjoyed the spring class so much that they are still singing the songs today and they even sing the songs to their favorite stuffed animal.  It is a great class not only for the kids, but for the parents too.  Thanks for bringing such a great class to us.  We look forward to the next series. 

My daughter and I started music together with Gwyneth this past summer
when she was 8 months old. It is amazing to see how much she has
embraced through this musical experience. In the beginning she would
sit on my lap, suck on the instruments and listen and now she doesn't
sit still! She is clapping, playing the instruments and dancing and
enjoying every minute of it! I also like how the class has a variety
of ages so they can all learn from each other. We have had the
opportunity to have Gwyneth and Cheryl and they are both so wonderful
and talented. The things they have taught my daughter in class have
carried over at home and in the car! Whenever we listen to the CDs,
she is engaged and excited. I look forward to continuing this journey
and thank both Gwyneth and Cheryl for all they do. This has truly been
a our favorite!

My daughter started attending the Music Together program at around 2 years old. It was amazing to see her develop her sense of rhythm, come up with new dance moves and learn new vocabulary thanks to the simple lyrics of the songs. I couldn't believe that she memorized the order of the songs on the first CD after about 2 weeks (it was the only CD we could listen to in the car, she'd ask us to put it on as soon as she got in her carseat) and would start singing the next song before it came on. My husband and I love the fact that the songs are different styles of music and aren't monotonous like most children's music compilations available on the market. After the first session was over it was a no-brainer that we'd sign her up for the next class. She really looks forward to Wednesdays, when she gets to go see Miss Jennifer and sing her favorite songs and play the instruments. Music was always a very important part of my life and I am glad that my daughter at age 3 knows the tunes and most of the lyrics to 50+ songs, thanks to Music Together. On some days I can hear her hum or sing to herself when she's falling asleep and when she wakes up. I am very happy I found Music Together and I will keep sending my daughter there as long as I can.
