Our Story
Music Together Gurgaon (#MTG) was launched in November 2012 by Alpita Patel and Vartika Bawa, close friends who saw the impact of the Music Together® program on their own children and themselves and were passionately driven to extend its reach to other families. In a truly enriching journey of over 8 yrs, Music Together Gurgaon has grown the MTG community from increasing its reach from only 16 to over 500 families currently. Music Together® classes are now offered in Preschools and as Family classes in various centers around Gurgaon.
Since its inception, Music Together has emphasized the importance of having parents and caregivers actively participate in class with their children. This is based in part on the work of early childhood educator Lilian Katz, who noted that while children can learn skills and knowledge from any adult, they learn dispositions only from their loved ones; by participating in class as musical role-models.
Bringing Harmony Home®
Our program at Music Together Gurgaon affiliate schools brings families together by creating a rich musical environment in the classroom and later facilitating family participation in spontaneous musical activity at home which is so important to music development and early childhood learning.
By emphasising actual music-making experiences, we introduce children to the pleasures of producing music instead of passively consuming it from iTunes or TV.
