SUMMARY:Music Together | Playgroup
DESCRIPTION:Create wonderful opportunities for communication and interaction through fun musical activities. \n\n\n\nChildren have opportunities to practise social skills such as turn-taking and sharing through group play and a familiar weekly routine. While the activities support communication\, social interaction and learning\, our priority is that everyone enjoys their time in the group. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nMusic Together offers a relaxed environment where children and adults enjoy singing\, playing percussion instruments\, dancing and storytelling together. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nEvery child settles into a new group differently. Some children join in straight away\, while others prefer to watch\, stay close to a parent or take a little longer to feel comfortable. That’s completely okay. We encourage families to keep attending and give children time to become familiar with the people\, songs and routine. Children are welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for them. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nParents and carers are encouraged to join in alongside their child during each session. Your participation helps your child feel comfortable and ready to explore the activities. \n\n\n\n\n\nBenefits of Music Together: \n\n\n\n\nOpportunities to connect with other families and share ideas and information about play and early childhood learning.\n\n\n\nMusical play gives children opportunities to communicate both verbally and non-verbally while exploring instruments\, dancing and singing.\n\n\n\nChildren experience following simple instructions in a relaxed\, play-based setting.\n\n\n\nThe sessions follow a familiar routine each week\, helping children build confidence and know what to expect.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWho can attend?Music Together is a program for children aged 3 to 5 years\, including children with disability\, developmental delay\, neurodivergence\, or families who would like some extra support for their child.We also warmly welcome all children in this age group and are committed to creating an inclusive space where everyone can join in and feel comfortable.Parents\, grandparents and siblings are encouraged to participate too. We celebrate diversity and welcome families from all backgrounds. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhenWeekly sessions\, 45 minutes each.Wednesdays\, 21 October to 9 December 2026\, All sessions 10am to 10.45am. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWherePlumtree Children’s ServicesYabsley Avenue\, Jarvie Park\, Marrickville\, NSW\, 2204How to find us \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCostFree \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFlyerView | Download | Share \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFacilitatorsAmanda\, Plumtree’s Music Educator and Daniel\, Early Childhood Teacher and Behavioural Analyst. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFrequently asked question \n\n\n\n			\n								\n							\n						\n								\n							\n			Do I need to register?Yes.

Parents\, carers and guardians are responsible for supervising and participating with their child throughout the session.Music Together is designed for children and adults to enjoy musical play together.

Regular attendance helps children become familiar with the group\, build confidence and feel comfortable with what to expect.We understand that things come up unexpectedly. If you can no longer attend\, please let us know so we can offer the place to another family. 			\n								\n							\n						\n								\n							\n			My child is shy or finds new groups challenging. Can we still come?Absolutely.Every child settles into a new group differently. Some children join in straight away\, while others prefer to watch\, stay close to their parent or take several sessions to feel comfortable. That’s completely okay. Children are welcome to participate in whatever way feels right for them.We encourage families to keep attending and give children time to become familiar with the people\, songs and routine. 			\n								\n							\n						\n								\n							\n			Is the playgroup accessible?Yes.
