More Than Just a Mommy-and-Me Class, Local Business Celebrates First Year

Music Together with Alexia opened its first location for Music Together® classes in Cold Spring in April of last year, and will be starting its second year with two locations, now including Peekskill. The next ten-week session of classes starts on April 13 at Go No Sen Karate.

Peekskill families might know Alexia Tate, director, as the ukulele-playing entertainer behind Story Garden with Miss Alexia, a regular fixture at The Field Library's Children's Room.

“I am so proud to finally offer Music Together classes in Peekskill, my own adopted hometown," says Tate. "After teaching in Queens for several years, I wanted to keep providing quality family music classes to the community. I started out with classes in Cold Spring last year, but was able to start offering classes in Peekskill starting this January. Music Together’s success around the world has been phenomenal, and we always want to expand to offer families our wonderful program in other communities."

“All children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning," says Tate. "Music Together brings families together by not only providing a rich musical environment in the classroom, but also encouraging them to bring our activities home, where they can make music a part of their daily life and routine. Families get so much out of these classes."

Families with children ages newborn to five are invited to come for a no-obligation trial class at any time during the semester. The Spring session runs through mid-June and new families are always welcome to come for a visit. Schedule a trial by emailing [email protected], calling, or visiting the website.
