Class begins in a circle group. Miss Kathy plays the guitar. Class proceeds to playing eggs, sticks, drums. Out comes the parachute for extra fun. Class proceeds to a dance or two – all on your feet.

Back to the floor for the play along ( a large collection of child safe instruments comes out and Music Together of Savannah has a full group play-along and social time). More singing and cute chants after that; then out come the scarves.

At the end of class, lights are dimmed, out come Teddy’s for a loving lullaby, goodbye song, and then a visit if you can stay.

Children are encouraged to touch and play the guitar or ukulele (with supervision) after class.

Your children are NOT required to sit still in class. Music Together believes that children will express themselves in a group class in their OWN way. Some may sit with parent, some may go to the middle to participate.
