On this , we remember and celebrate Fred Rogers with one of his own astute observations: “Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.”

Wishing everyone a wonderful Valentine’s Day!

Wishing everyone lots of love on this Valentine’s Day. And- really, I wish you love EVERY day.

I'm always impressed by Billie Eillish, and now I know why! She was a Music Together kid, raised by a Music Together teacher! Thanks to Circle of Friends Music for sharing.

Congrats to singer/songwriter Billie Eillish on winning Song of the year for “what was I made for” in
Last night’s 2024 Grammy Awards. Fun fact:
Did you know that Billie Eillish’s mother, Maggie, was a Music Together Teacher?? In an interview with MT Maggie is quoted..
“I became a Music Together teacher when Billie was ten months old, and Finneas was four, after researching music programs for Finneas's cooperative nursery school. “I found Music Together and went straight to the Teacher Training!” "I don’t know how well you know Billie’s music, but she always sings exactly on pitch. It’s unreal! And Finneas can play anything, even though he’s never had a lesson,” she says. “I always wonder how much Music Together might have played a part in that. I played the CDs all the time, and they were going to all the classes. Music Together was a pretty big part of our lives.”
Maggie Baird taught MT classes for 6 years in Los Angeles.

Free Concert Tomorrow, 2/4/24! Celebrating the first ordained African-American Priest. Poetry by Civil Rights poet, Langston Hughes, music by Margaret Bonds.
