Music Together® is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children birth through grade two and the grownups who love them. The Music Together curriculum, coauthored in 1987 by Kenneth K. Guilmartin (Founder/Director) and Rowan University Professor of Music Education Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz (Director of Research), is based on the recognition that all children are musical. All children can learn to sing in tune, move with accurate rhythm, and participate with confidence in the music of their culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Music Together offers programs for families, schools, at-risk populations, and children with special needs in over 2500 communities in forty countries around the world. The company is passionately committed to bringing children and their caregivers closer through shared music-making and helping people discover the joy---and the educational value---of early music experiences.

Music & Memory started with the understanding that music is deeply rooted in our conscious and unconscious brains. As powerful as that idea is, it becomes even more important if the functioning of the brain is deteriorating, as occurs in dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other types of cognitive loss. But favorite music can awaken the brain and with it, the rich trove of memories that are associated with familiar songs or beloved pieces. Our approach is simple and effective: We train care professionals how to set up personalized music playlists for those in their care using inexpensive mp3 players. These music favorites tap deep memories not lost to dementia and can bring listeners back to life, enabling them to feel like themselves again, to converse, socialize, and stay present. By providing access and education, and by creating a network of Music & Memory certified organization, our goal is to make this form of personalized therapeutic music a standard of care throughout the healthcare industry.
