Album Notes

Since 1987, Music Together® classes have brought families together to make music in a joyful, relaxed setting which is just right for children’s learning. This spirit of musical play has been an inspiration to hundreds of thousands of families. For the first time, Music Together is offering a special compilation of favorite songs.

Music Together Family Favorites™ contains nineteen songs and chants, featuring original compositions as well as tunes from the folk, jazz, and world music traditions. This beautifully orchestrated recording includes a wide range of tonalities and meters, which is vital for expanding children's music experience and understanding. The CD has been received numerous awards since it’s release including, the Parents’ Choice Silver Honor Award, Earlychildhood News Directors’ Choice Award, Earlychildhood News Judges’ Selection Award, The National Parenting Center Seal of Approval, the iParenting Greatest Products Media Award and the Learning® Magazine 2008 Teacher’s Choice Award for the Family .

The accompanying 32-page booklet offers activities for each song, so parents and children can play together musically. Research has shown that active music-making with a loved one helps children gain a disposition for and love of music, and supports their rhythmic and tonal growth.

Use it with your child for hours of music-making fun. Enjoy!
