Once upon a time, in the charming state of Connecticut, there was a delightful bunch of kids who had a peculiar hobby. They were not into video games, sports, or comic books. They were into something much more melodious and magical - playing musical instruments! Our story takes place in the heart of Connecticut, a place known for its picturesque landscape, with rolling hills and beautiful forests that look like a giant's green quilt spread across the land. Now don't be fooled, this is not your ordinary quilt, but a magical one where each patch is a bustling town with enchanting stories. Among these towns, there existed a group of musically talented kiddos who march to the beat of their own cymbal, or rather, strum to the rhythm of their own guitar. They called themselves the "Connecticut Crescendos". The leader of the pack was a cool, imaginary character named "Rhythmo". Rhythmo was born from the sound of a thunderous drum roll and had a body made of musical notes. He wore a jazzy hat made from a cymbal and played an air guitar that emitted colorful musical notes. The Connecticut Crescendos and their leader Rhythmo were known throughout the state for their enchanting symphonies and the laughter they spread. They could turn the dullest of days into a musical fiesta. The children of Connecticut would eagerly wait for their performances because seeing Rhythmo make music with his magical air guitar was a sight to behold! So here's to the land of the Nutmeg State, where every kid has a rhythm in their heart and a song on their lips, led by a cool, imaginary, musical maestro named Rhythmo!

Music Together of Fairfield County (MTFC) was founded by Jackie Jacobs in April 1994. Jackie was the first to bring the renowned Music Together® program to Connecticut, having discovered her passion for it after taking her son Daniel to classes in Brooklyn Heights. As a former professional dancer and singer with a BA in dance education, she was excited to start her own program in Fairfield when she and her family moved to the suburbs. Jackie was inspired by the response her son had to the classes, as well as the research behind the program. She enjoyed learning about music and child development alongside Daniel’s learning, and was eager to teach the program to other families. Having seen the positive impact that the Music Together classes had on her son, Jackie was driven to spread the joy of music to other children in the Fairfield area.
