What Families Say About the Music Experience
The experience of music often extends beyond a single class. These reflections from parents and families offer a glimpse into what shared music-making has meant to them and their children.
Music Through the Eyes of Families
Parents and caregivers often notice music in the moments that happen beyond the formal music experience: a familiar song at home, a child responding to rhythm, a favorite activity repeated together, or simply the joy of making music as a family.
The reflections below come from families who shared their experiences with Bracy’s Music Together.
Family Reflections
“The In School Music Together program has become one of the highlights of our week. My daughter really loves her teacher and is super excited about the songs she is learning at school. I am so grateful the program is available at her school.”
“Music Together has enhanced our lives more than I could have imagined, thank you! Every morning her reason for getting out of bed is to ‘dance, dance!’ We had such a good time.”
“Music Together at my daughter’s school has been a really wonderful experience for our family. I love that the music comes home, I don’t own a CD player anymore but I am able to still use the download code to access the music.”
“I had no idea there was a music program at my son’s school. I was so surprised to hear him singing the songs and finding the program materials in his backpack after the first day of school. I love this program so much.”
“We have become a musical family because of this in school music program. I’m no singer but these songs are so easy to get into and we have so much fun with it.”
“I have been enjoying the Hello Everybody app. It’s so convenient to listen to my music on the go. I really love this program and intend to continue listening and accessing the music even after my son graduates kindergarten and goes into a higher grade at school.”
Creating Opportunities for Music to Travel Beyond the Classroom
Bracy’s Music Together’s school-day program is designed to create connections among the weekly music experience, classroom teachers, children, and families. Participating families receive music materials to use beyond the classroom, and two Parent Events during the academic year invite caregivers to experience music-making with their children firsthand.
