Each week in the Mixed-Age Classes at Music Together Fairhaven, babies, toddlers, preschoolers, and the grownups who love them® gather for 45 minutes of fun-filled family music time. Ms. Audrey leads you and the other families in music activities ranging from lullabies to full-on jam sessions (with child-friendly instruments, of course). It’s so much fun you won’t realize how much learning is taking place! We teach musical concepts through an immersive, playful, non-performance oriented class experience. Every semester includes 25 songs and chants with digital downloads and a fully illustrated songbook. We hope you join our musical community!

How does casting work?
All students will receive a part in BAAY productions and no one is cut after auditions. Our team does their best to make sure all kids have an opportunity to shine in a role in which they can feel both supported and challenged.

ABOUT BAAY CAMPUS
At our downtown campus, we provide children with a safe and supportive community in which to learn acting, vocal performance, costuming, theatre tech, dance, and theatre devising. Through these classes, we foster respect, cooperation, decision-making, team-building, self-discipline, and self-confidence in young people.
BAAY offers performing arts classes to children in pre-k through high school at our campus in downtown Bellingham. Almost all of those programs culminate in performances, including plays, dance performances, and full musicals like Matilda, Oliver, Little Shop of Horrors, Our Town, Shrek, and many others. Approximately 5500 children and adults attend productions at our theatre each year to enjoy the arts and celebrate the students’ work. Since 2006, we have staged over 200 musicals and plays.
Mentoring happens informally through older students encouraging and helping younger students, and formally through programs like our Costume and Tech Crews, where students learn how to support a production from rehearsal to performance.
Because of the generosity of our community of donors and sponsors, BAAY has never turned away a child for financial reasons. We want all children to have equal access to the arts, and we can offer this financial aid because of our amazing donors. Give your gift here today and be a champion of the arts for youth!
