Music Together® is an early childhood music and movement program for children from birth through age eight—and the grownups who love them!® We’re on a mission to make the world a better place by making it more musical™. We do this by providing the highest-quality music and movement classes to families everywhere. First offered in 1987, our classes help little ones develop their innate musicality and much, much more.

The Suzuki Approach to Music Education was conceived in the mid-20th century by Suzuki, a Japanese violinist. As a skilled violinist but a beginner at the German language who struggled to learn it, Suzuki noticed that children pick up their native language quickly, whereas adults consider even dialects "difficult" to learn which are spoken with ease by children at age five or six. He reasoned that if children have the skill to acquire their native language, they have the necessary ability to become proficient on a musical instrument.
"Musical ability is not an inborn talent but an ability which can be developed. Any child who is properly trained can develop musical ability, just as all children develop the ability to speak their mother tongue. The potential of every child is unlimited."--Dr. Shinichi Suzuki

Hallie's Studio has enabled many children to play music to a high standard from very young ages. Many students have become accomplished musicians in All-State bands and orchestras, youth orchestras, and graduated to become majors in music at many acclaimed universities. However, the training of professionals is not the main aim: the emphasis throughout is on the development of the whole child, via education through music.
