The University of Miami’s MusicTime program has began its fall semester on September on 6. The research-based program offers classes for children from birth to 8 years of age. The classes focus on intellectual and musical development through activities that include singing, patterning, imitating, playing rhythm instruments, dancing, and reading and writing music. The classes, which are designed for parents and children to enjoy activities together in a special activity-based environment, are open to child-care center students as well as children from the community. For more information on registration, prices, and class descriptions, please view the brochure on the University of Miami MusicTime website, www.music.miami.edu/musictime, or call 305-284-3176.
