Tacoma Music Academy is a nonprofit community music school located in the historic Tacoma Armory that offers Music Together® family classes alongside private lessons. Its Music Together program is structured as a nine-week session for caregivers and their children, typically from infancy through preschool. A certified Music Together teacher leads families in songs, dances, chants, and instrument play, using the official song collections and a research-based approach to early childhood music learning. Parents and kids sit together on the floor, sharing drums, shakers, and scarves while exploring rhythm and melody in a low-pressure environment. Because the academy’s broader mission is to make music education accessible to all children, it often emphasizes affordability and scholarships, which can be appealing for families wanting an ongoing, community-minded program. Classes are held in a dedicated classroom in the Armory, and families receive materials to help them keep singing together between sessions, turning music into a regular part of home life
