What does Mixed Ages mean?

In each class we strive to create a musically rich, developmentally appropriate environment where the whole family can enjoy music and nurture skills at the level right for each child. Mixed aged classes provide a rich learning environment because children of different ages thrive when they interact with each other.  The babies are fascinated by the older children and the older kids enjoy helping and sharing. This approach is based on research form music education, early childhood development and family relationships.

Can I bring my older sibling/out of town guest to class?

We know that sometimes school takes breaks and you have 2 children instead of 1 to care for or you have out of town guests who may want to join you for your Music Together^® class. Please feel free to bring your older sibling/out of town guest.  If the older sibling/out of town guest will be attending regularly (more than 3), they will need to register and pay tuition.  

I have a friend who wants to see what class is like, how can they do that?

If you have an in-town guest who would like to visit class, please have them sign up for a drop-in class to come check us out!

Can I bring my younger child to class?

Congratulations on the newest addition to your family!  We are so excited that you have chosen to continue the Music Together tradition with your youngest child.  In order to make sure we save a spot for your children during our priority registration period and keep within our licensing restrictions, we would like to add your child to the roster.  Your younger child can audit the class tuition-free with a tuition-paying older sibling as long as he or she is 9 months of age or younger at the time of registration. 

What if I miss a class during a session?

Please note:  we offer 2 makeups as a courtesy; it is up to you to schedule and use those makeups.  We offer many classes during the week – Mon-Sat between 9 and 12 and late afternoons, and at several different locations - if your schedule does not permit you to attend another class during the session, we are unable to refund or prorate tuition, or extend those makeups into the next session.  Makeups must be used during the session in which you are registered.

Help!  The class I want is full and/or no longer showing on the registration page.  Can I be placed on a wait list?

Due to the popularity of our program, our classes fill up quickly.  Our licensing restrictions will not allow us to add additional enrollments beyond our enrollment cap.  Please register for another day, time, teacher, and location that works with your schedule and contact [email protected] to request to be placed on a wait list.

We build our wait lists internally, from current-session registered families and, unfortunately, we are unable to add outside participants to wait lists.  We hope you can find a class that works for your schedule in the current session!  If so, please complete registration online and then let us know your wait list class choice.  If you are unable to find a class that works with your scheudle this session, we encourage you to calendar the date for open registration for the next session so you can select your first or second choice class.  You can view our session and registration dates schedule here.

Can I switch to a different class?

If there is availability in the class in which you want to transfer, we can most likely accommodate this request.  Please view our current class openings on our class schedule to see if our options will work with your schedule.  Please contact us at [email protected] to inquire about class transfer requests.

What if I start classes after the semester begins?

We are so glad you have found our Music Together classes!  We would love to have you join us at any time during the semester.  Please contact us at [email protected] to discuss how to join us if you will be beginning classes after the session start date.

What if I need to cancel my registration?

We do not issue refunds or credits once the session begins, unless you have a medical or family emergency (death in the family or debilitating injury). We will not issue credits or refunds for non-emergency reasons such as nap times changing, a conflict with another activity, or starting preschool. It is up to you to make necessary adjustments to be able to attend your registered class.

*If a refund is given it is subject to a $25 admin fee depending on date of request

*If a credit is given you have one year from when it was given to use it. Credits cannot be converted back to a cash or credit card refund - no exceptions. 

What is Early Bird Registration?

We offer Early Bird Registration for our currently enrolled families. Families will receive an email with a code to participate in Early Bird Registration.  Families will then be able to register for classes on a first-come, first-served basis. Families who miss the Early Bird Registration deadline may register in Open Registration.  

All Summer Session registrations are Open Registration.  We do not offer Early Bird Registration for the Summer Session.

Do you offer scholarships?

Yes!  We want all families to be able to experience the Music Together experience.  Please contact us at [email protected] for more information.

Can I take pictures or videos during class?

We know that it is so easy to take pictures of our kids and share on the many social media platforms - and our kids do the cutest things sometimes.  However, due to the music learning environment we want to create (when you're taking pictures or videos, you are no longer making music with your kiddo), as well as the many families who want to maintain privacy for their kids and family, we do not allow pictures or videos during class time.  If you want to have a photo-op, you are welcome to stay after class and take pictures.

For families that have privacy concerns, our teachers do their best to give this information to all of our families, but we can't monitor all that goes on.  If you have concerns, we encourage you to discuss this with the family who is taking the picture.  

Anything else a parent should know?

• Please do not bring food or toys into the classroom.
• Please arrive on time to class. All of our locations are "no shoes" facilities, so please remove your shoes before sitting down in the circle.
• Please wash your hands before and after class or take advantage of our hand sanitizer in the classroom.
• Mouthed instruments are taken out of rotation until they can be cleaned at the end of the teaching day.  We clean all of our instruments at the end of each teaching day.  Click to learn more about our Health Policy.
• Please do not take pictures or videos during class time. You are welcome to stay after class for photo-ops (this is due to the learning environment we want to create, as well as, privacy issues families might have).
