I am certified with Music Together to teach music together classes. I usually use my keyboard to play along, but am learning ukele to soon be able to do it with the ukele! I also have a playlist that I use. These are classes for both parents and for children. It consists of songs that may include interactions with parents and children, scarf dancing, playing with different instruments, and dancing around the room to the music. Each class includes repetitive patterns for children to learn rhythms and melodies for children to learn the basics of rhythm and tone. The minimum class size for this is five children.
