Babies and 100-Year-Olds Making Music Together in Carlsbad
Around the country and around the world, in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, and senior residences, elders are bonding with babies and toddlers through music-making, created by the international award-winning early childhood music program Music Together.®
Helping children and their grownups bond through music, and discover the joy and critical educational value of early music experiences are among the key missions of Music Together.
Battenfeld adds, “Strangers or not, within minutes everyone is part of our music-making family at these classes. The idea that music bonds people is never more obvious and meaningful than during the time we spend at our ‘grandma and grandpa’ homes.”
