Guilmartin in Princeton, New Jersey. At that time, Ken observed that most children were growing up with little or no opportunity for live and playful music making; their music experiences were usually limited to passive music listening. Subsequently, many arrived at elementary school unable to sing in tune or move in a rhythmically accurate way.<\/p>\n<p>In 1985, he founded the Center for Music and Young Children (CMYC) to conduct the early childhood music development research which later became the Music Together program. In 1986, Ken met Lili Levinowitz, Ph.D., then director of the Children&#8217;s Music Development Program at Temple University. Soon the two began to develop the unique, musically-rich curriculum that would become known as Music Together.<\/p>\n<p>The first Music Together classes were offered to the public in 1987. Both coauthors continue to teach Music Together classes, and they remain actively involved in training the teachers who will \u00ab\u00a0bring harmony home\u00a0\u00bb.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Music Together program is offered in over 2,300 communities and 30 countries worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<div  class='flex_column av-av_one_fourth-52c89597409f646e66e7cc675a5d9b4a av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div  '     ><p>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-6e46f799f8e1caefd8e0565183a672cf\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-6e46f799f8e1caefd8e0565183a672cf{\nheight:10px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-6e46f799f8e1caefd8e0565183a672cf hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-3  el_before_av_image  avia-builder-el-first '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_image-140ef1d43ca6230c4dd79a22c9878a28\">\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-140ef1d43ca6230c4dd79a22c9878a28 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-av_image-140ef1d43ca6230c4dd79a22c9878a28 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-av_image-140ef1d43ca6230c4dd79a22c9878a28 av-styling- avia-align-  avia-builder-el-4  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><a href=\"http:\/\/musictogether.com\/OurHistory\" class='avia_image' target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img class='wp-image-4473 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-4473 avia_image ' src='http:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2014\/06\/Ken-225x300.jpg' alt='' title='Ken'   itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-av_hr-7148c96ad18338470e2200b4c17e1ba3\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-av_hr-7148c96ad18338470e2200b4c17e1ba3{\nheight:30px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-av_hr-7148c96ad18338470e2200b4c17e1ba3 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_image  el_before_av_textblock '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-av_textblock-0366cc7376be6c9e82a3e9cc8987b64f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>Translated by par Eliane George &amp; Yvonne Atkinson, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.musictogetherriviera.com\">Music Together Riviera<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, Switzerland<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":3090,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3782"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3782"}],"version-history":[{"count":12,"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3782\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4803,"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3782\/revisions\/4803"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/3090"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.music-o-mere.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3782"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
