Faith Inclusive Mixed Age

Mixed age classes are designed for children birth through 5 with a caregiver.  Classes held at  St. Mary's are supported by the Music Ministry and incorporate a touch of liturgical music into the Music Together^® program. Adults and children participate through song, dance, and rhythm instruments in a fun and exploratory environment. You do not need to be a parishioner of St. Mary's, nor a member of the Roman Catholic church to join us for this fun-filled music program.

The mixed-age format is not only educationally sound but creates a family-like atmosphere where siblings can attend class together. Older children learn from being in a leadership role, while younger children benefit from the example of the older child. Children of the same age are not necessarily in the same stage of music development. A mixed-age format enables them to participate freely and experience the music at their own level of complexity, without being burdened by age-specific expectations.
