This Music Together of Midcoast Music Academy class follows the recommendations of child development researchers — grouping children of a variety of ages to foster natural, family-style learning. Each child participates at his or her own level. Any caregivers — parents, grandparents, nanny — can bring the children. The whole family is welcome for this family music experience. Midcoast Music Academy is a community music school that was founded in 2012.
