Heather Gardner Studio, a West Philadelphia-based music school, is launching a new program for young children, Music Together®. The goal of Music Together is to expose young children to a diversity of musical experiences, allowing them to realize their full musical potential as they grow. Young children and parents also develop strong bonds when they share musical experiences. Music Together is a program for the whole family, giving them the tools to continue their musical play throughout the week!

The program is intended for children ages 0-5 years. Babies are welcome and infant siblings under 8 months are free.

Classes begin September 13th and are offered at the studio, where kids and adults can take private Suzuki violin, viola or voice lessons. Classes are taught by a certified Music Together teacher. Free demo classes are being offered Saturday, Sept. 9 at 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. RSVP on Facebook here.
