Research  at the Music Together^® center in Hopewell, New Jersey has shown that mixed ages classes are the best for a child's development.

Music Together, after having experimented with separating the ages, has decided to keep the children in mixed ages classes.

The children learn from one another in this unique opportunity. The infants look up to the bigger kids as role models and become entranced with the older children. The older children can become helpers in class,  learn be nurturing and take on a  "role model" role .

Parent's let go of comparing children of the same age and simply relax into the family environment.
