Music Together of Decatur

Music Together of Decatur offers music classes for babies, toddlers, preschoolers—and the grownups who love them! Each week, moms, dads, grandparents, and nannies gather to sing, dance, and play musically with their little ones; songs range from tender lullabies to full-on jams using child-friendly percussion instruments. Each class is designed to teach the way children learn: through exposure, exploration, and play with the grownups they love. Click here to learn more and sign up!
