A Love Letter to Camp

A Love Letter to Camp

Excitement buzzes through the air as we hand out popsicles to thirty campers gathered at our cluster of colorful picnic tables in the yard. It is approximately 3:50pm on a hot, humid, Summer Friday. Rain clouds threaten in the distance but nothing will rain on our campers parade. It’s the most anticipated part of the week, and it’s not because of the popsicles. Okay, it’s a little bit because of the popsicles… but mostly it’s because of the legendary Friday Performance.

Ensembles Begin This September: Join our Orchestra, Rock or Choir Program!

Our ensembles begin the week of September 12, 2026, and we’d love for you to join!

Why participate in an ensemble when you’re already in private lessons? Because ensembles are an essential part of playing an instrument!

In ensembles, students build collaboration and listening skills, learn how to take ownership and responsibility over their individual part, and are part of a community. Plus, playing music together is FUN!

Your Child’s First Teacher Might Be a Music Teacher

Your Child’s First Teacher Might Be a Music Teacher

When we think of our children’s first teachers, many of us picture preschool or kindergarten. My 2 year old’s first teacher (since 3 months old) is Teacher Izi, a Music Together® (at Music House) teacher with a beautiful voice and a passion for early childhood music education. 

The other day, one of our friends- who comes to Music Together® every Sunday with us- sent me a text that has stuck with me, while also perfectly capturing why these early experiences matter so much.
