Music Together is an award-winning, research-based, developmentally correct and FUN music-making and movement program for children newborn to Kindergarten age and the grown-ups who love them. Even though Music Together is celebrating its 25th Anniversary this year and is in over 40 countries around the world, it is new to Saskatchewan.
Maxine Hanofski, Centre Director of Music Together Prairie Heartland, a musician, artist, atelierista, Early Childhood Educator and member of the Saskatchewan Early Learning Leaders Caucus, was searching for a quality music program that encouraged children to make music, rather than press a button or watch a screen. When she was introduced to Music Together, her search was over. She obtained her training in the United States and brought the program home to Saskatchewan this spring.
Music Together is offered at various locations in Regina, as well as White City/Emerald Park. With Regina Music Therapist Tyne Hallgrimson joining the Music Together Prairie Heartland team this Fall, classes for Babies Only and Big Kids will also be offered in the Queen City.
Music Together Prairie Heartland is also thrilled to announce that they will be offering classes beginning in September in both Yorkton and Melville. For the 10 week Fall Semester, there will be two classes offered in Yorkton at the S.I.G.N. building at 345 Broadway Street West commencing on Monday, September 9, at 11:15 a.m. or 6:15 p.m. Classes in Melville will be held at the Horizon Credit Union Centre at 9:00 a.m., also commencing on September 9.
More information about the program can be obtained by calling Maxine (Max) Hanofski, Centre Director, at (306) 529-6296 or visiting the Music Together Prairie Heartland website at www.musictogetherph.ca. Yorkton and Melville registrations are now being accepted on-line as well. Max and Music Together Prairie Heartland look forward to making "music together" with the children and families of the City of Yorkton and surrounding area.
