Class Registration Now Open Merry Music Makers offers music and movement classes for children from birth through age six at the School of Music in Park Ridge. For more information about the classes we offer, click View Website above. We also offer classes at Chicago locations, listed on the right under the Google map.
Merry Music Makers offers Music Together® and I Can Sing! classes because we believe that all children are musical and can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat and participate in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. A Music Together class is a relaxed, playful, participatory, exploratory musical experience. We do not expect musical perfection or “performances” from children or parents. We strive to see families DOING music instead of passively receiving it from CD’s or TV. We seek to create a community of families making Music Together!
