Join us at 10:15 a.m., Saturday, Dec. 10 as we welcome Music Together, an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program. Their core belief is that all children can be musical, learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in a social setting, provided that their early environment supports such learning.
