What's New!
New Sunday Music Program Just for Toddlers!Music Together is an internationally-recognized, early-childhood music program for infants through age five and the adults who love them. The program is research based and emphasizes that all children can learn to sing a tune, keep a beat and participate with confidence in school and social musical activities. By providing actual music experiences rather than concepts about music, Music Together introduces children to the pleasure of making music instead of passively receiving it from CDs or TV. Music Together brings families together by providing a rich musical environment at the Museum and by facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home. LCM encourages you and your little ones to discover the pleasure and educational value of informal music experiences. Classes are held in the Times Picayune Theatre and include sharing songs, instrument play, rhythm chants and movement activities in a relaxed, playful, non-performance oriented setting. You’ll enrich your child’s music environment regardless of your own musical abilities. Children participate at their own level in family-style classes of mixed ages. The first sessions ends June 1. Sessions 2 and 3 are six weeks long and run from June 22 to July 27 and from August 3 to September 7. Session 4 is ten weeks and runs from September 21 to November 23. Classes are offered at 1:00 p.m. and 2:00 p.m. These sessions are very popular so sign up today to server your spots. Session fees include an illustrated songbook and 2 CDs (new each session) and a parenting guide to music. FREE demo class on SUNDAY, JUNE 1 at 12:15 p.m. Please register to participate! Register Now!
