About Music Together Music Classes in Toronto & the GTA
Music Together® music classes are available for babies, toddlers, and kids throughout Toronto and the GTA at ABC Academy of Music.
We are thrilled to offer this world-famous program of mixed-age music classes for kids ranging in age from birth to 8 years old. It’s a curriculum loved by millions!
For over 25 years, Music Together® has been bringing children and parents together through music worldwide. Using ongoing research-based curriculum, classes incorporate songs, rhymes, movement, and instrument play. Kids experience a wide range of musical experiences, while building social and activity skills with other children.
The program nurtures kids’ creativity, self-expression, and confidence and supports their social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. Because this development builds over time, children benefit the most in each of these areas when they participate in Music Together classes as consistently as possible as they grow up.
The philosophy of Music Together is that all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and can take an active part in the music that surrounds them, provided that their environment supports this learning experience. A fresh set of CDs with your songs are included for each session so you can continue Music Together at home daily.
Included with your tuition each semester for you and your child:
- Parent Guide and Welcome Video (at your first registration only)
- A CD song-pack with recordings of all the music for the semester
- A Free Digital Download Access code for your Collection Music & the online Family Music Zone at musictogether.com
- A Song book with all the music for the semester so you can follow along at home
- A Student Growth Chart to help you track and guide your development
Involving parents and caregivers as active role models in this musical learning is key to this program. Seeing you engage with music sets the best possible example to unleash a lifelong love of music – our central mission at ABC Academy. Any parent, grandparent, nanny, or trusted friend can take the class with your children. Music Together teachers are specially trained to guarantee a beautiful musical experience that’s both fun and educational.

A Note from the Director
When we decided to add music classes for children under 8 to our offerings, it was with great care that we checked the market of available programs. We are serious about giving even the youngest of children an experience that not only builds basic musical competence, but helps to build bonds and love in a family setting.
As a matter of due diligence, I joined the training with our teacher, so I would know what the classroom was supposed to be like. It was a magical experience for me, and by the end of the training I had decided to teach some classes – this was not the original plan. Still, my passion for music is such that the quality of this program really fired my imagination.
Music Together is not just a thing that kids do on a weekly basis, it becomes a family – and community – event, where deep, ongoing research in early childhood and music education intersect in an invisible way to help build bonds through Music, Instruments, and Physical Expression.
Parents and children will love to know that their teachers are working hard to bring them just the right balance of music every week, carefully planning a diversity of content that spans different music rhythmically, culturally, historically, with a careful structure that balances singing, dancing, movement, instrumental play, and props.
Ultimately, Music Together lives up to its name exactly – and makes the time we spend together wonderful! I look forward to welcoming you to our classes anytime!
Songs, Books, CDs, and Curriculum
The Music Together® curriculum includes a mix of original songs and traditional in a variety of tonalities and meters. Offering a range of musical styles from lyrical to blues and folk to boogie, Music Together provides children with a rich music experience that stimulates and supports their growing music skills and understanding.
The song collections, are each characterized by its own graphic, color, and instrument. These collections each include a recording and songbook and are designed to be used one collection per semester. The collections are not sequential so a family can begin Music Together classes at any time with any collection. Presented in a three-year cycle of three semesters per year, families can enjoy three full years of new songs before cycling back to re-experience the collection.
Music learning is cumulative – kids reap developmental benefits that build over time. This is why we encourage families to participate for as many years as possible from infancy through kindergarten.
The music is pitched in just the right range for children’s voices and includes songs, rhythmic chants, tonal and rhythm patterns, and instrumental play-alongs. Original songs and arrangements by the program’s coauthors make these collections especially unique. Outstanding instrumentalists play a variety of instruments, such as guitar, bass, flutes, keyboards, and percussion. Best of all, the songs are suitable for mixed-age groups, perfect for childcare centres or families with children of different ages.
Music Together’s song collections are research-based and artistically conceived and produced. They are also classroom- and family-tested. Since 1987, the feedback of hundreds of teachers and thousands of families has been incorporated into these constantly evolving materials.

Our Teachers
Music Together® is committed to helping families, caregivers, and early childhood professionals rediscover the joy and educational value of informal music experiences. Serving families since 1987, the program applies the latest research in early childhood music development.
Music Together trainers personally meet and train each of our prospective teachers. All of our teachers have successfully completed the training program and are officially part of an international teaching and learning community on the cutting edge of music education. Our teachers also enjoy ongoing skill development workshops and support throughout the year.
Additionally, ABC Academy selects university-trained musicians (or equivalent), active in their field, and passionate about what they do. We find that this brings a level of care and enthusiasm that is hard to find in other children’s music classes – it really enhances the experience for all of our students and their families.
