Music Learning Supports All Learning Did you know that babies form one million neural connections per second and that making music works more parts of the brain than any other activity?
Sunshine Music Together is the eight-time ParentMap Golden Teddy Award winner for Best Music Program in Seattle! Accolades aside, the curriculum at Sunshine Music Together is the real gem.
Parents are encouraged to sing, dance and act silly right alongside their child. Why? Because children learn to love making music directly from watching you participate with enjoyment! Sunshine Music Together helps you to relax, shed inhibitions and enjoy bonding musically with your child.
