FREE children's music classes held in the Library's Children's Room. Presented by Moon River Music Together with Catherine Rubin, the class will explore how the early childhood program of Music Together® teaches music through play.

Young children are given the opportunity to develop basic competence in music by providing them with a rich musical experience in a relaxed and playful environment. Catherine believes that every child is musical and that each child needs a stimulating, supportive music environment to enjoy the wonderful human capacity for music-making.

Join us to see how much fun music classes can be!
