In Music Together^® Generations classes, teachers and families foster meaningful musical relationships across the ages, as “Musical Grandfriends” join the music-making circle. Expanding the class community in this way enriches the experience for families and makes these classes some of the most satisfying to teach.

Classes are typically held in residential facilities, such as independent living, assisted living, or in day programs, such as senior centers or intergenerational day care programs with preschool classes. Elders are invited, but never pressured, to participate in class, with the support of an on-site staff member, and are respected as important music models.
