Music Together

Music helps us get in touch with, express, and manage our emotions and enhances our ability to communicate, even before we master language. Music Together is an exciting, comprehensive music program, designed to help children discover the world of music through developmentally appropriate activities that support and respect the unique learning style of each child by hearing, feeling, moving, singing, creating, sharing, and playing music together with their most loved ones-- their parents.
Our classes allow children to explore, learn and discover the wonders and benefits of music as a community. Are you and your child ready for some music together?

Megillas Lester is a full-length animated feature film depicting the fictional story of Doniel Lesterovitch (Lester); a boy whose imagination turns the Purim story upside down. Suddenly finding himself at the feast of King Achashverosh, Lester is ordered to summon queen Vashti to the party … and he inadvertently convinces her to go! With Vashti alive and well, Esther never needs to come to the palace, and that leaves nobody to save the Jews. Uh-oh.
