About Early Childhood Music Teacher Training
Why Music Matters for Little Ones
I believe music is not just an extra - it's at the heart of childhood. Those early years, birth to five, are when kids soak up rhythm and melody like sponges. My approach is all about masti (fun) and connection, not just theory. If you love seeing kids light up when the music starts, you’ll fit right in.
What You’ll Learn
Our 'Music in Measures' training is built from my 25+ years teaching everywhere from New York to Mumbai. You’ll get:
- A research-based music curriculum for preschoolers
- Tools to lead your own classes for babies and preschoolers
- Planning resources and our original music
Real Classroom Experience
For those who complete the core training, we offer a 2-year music and movement teacher apprenticeship. You’ll work hands-on with kids, with my mentorship every step. It’s not just about learning songs - it’s about learning how to teach with heart.
Career Support
We help certified teachers find jobs in Mumbai’s top preschools. Our network is strong, and we want you to succeed.
Who Am I?

Is This For You?
If you want a career full of giggles, songs, and sticky fingers, and you’re ready to sing and dance with joy, Sabka dil dikhao! (Show your heart!).

My Story
Hey, I’m Priyanka Seth Pandit. Special teacher, Columbia grad, but honestly, music’s what connects me to kids and parents. My journey started in NYC, searching for a music class for my own baby, and Music Together just clicked. Saw magic happen – brains growing, hearts connecting. Moved back to India, brought Music Together here, started The Musicircle. Moments that stay? Kids hugging me after class, parents singing even if they say 'I can't sing,' working in places like Jai Vakeel Foundation and Byculla Prison Creche. That’s what keeps me going.
My Work
Music Together family classes - Parent-child music class for kids 6 months to 5 years, all about making music together, no talent needed.
Music in Measures for preschools - Preschool music movement program, focusing on rhythm, memory, hand-eye coordination, and early childhood rhythm games.
Teacher training for music educators - We train teachers who love music and kids, so they can create joyful spaces too.
Global songs, Mumbai flavor - Multicultural music activities, mixing global songs with Hindi and Marathi rhymes, like Diwali dancing masti.
A space for joy and bonding - Classes are silly, warm, full of group hugs, scarves, and family bonding through music.
