Welcome to Music Together® Sing Shalom, the unique Jewish music class for families with young children birth-5 years of age!
The weekly parent-child music classes combine everything you love about the internationally recognized Music Together early childhood music education program with a carefully selected collection of familiar (and not-so-familiar) Jewish songs from throughout the world. Music Together Sing Shalom classes introduce Jewish themes and holidays and celebrate community through song, supporting parents and caregivers in introducing their children to a diverse, culturally rich Jewish heritage. Each week, a community of families comes together to sing, dance, and play in a class led by a trained Music Together teacher with a Jewish background. Interact musically with your children while supporting their development, strengthening your family relationships, and connecting with Jewish tradition culturally.
