Class Guidelines

Missing a Class & Scheduling a Make-Up

If you miss a scheduled class, you may schedule a make-up through the Make-Up Scheduler. If you know you will be absent, please mark yourself absent in advance so another family can use the space for a make-up. Classes are intentionally small and limited to 12 families, so opening your spot helps others attend.

How We Share the Classroom

Food, Drinks, & Toys

To keep the focus on music and avoid spills or distractions, please leave food, drinks, and toys outside the classroom during class.

Phones & Cameras

We try to create an environment where the music has everyone’s attention. Please silence phones and keep them put away during class. Photos and video are not allowed during class.

Let Children Move Freely

Young children experience music through movement. If your child is old enough to move independently, please allow them to explore rather than guiding their arms or keeping them on your lap.

Sing With Us

Adults are an essential part of the class. When parents and caregivers sing, move, and play along, children experience music as something they belong inside.

Caregivers

Nannies and au pairs are very welcome in class and are important role models for the children. Please help them understand how much their participation matters and share these guidelines with them.

Health & Safety

When to Stay Home

If your child has had a fever (100° or higher) or vomiting within the previous 24 hours, please stay home and schedule a make-up. Please also use common sense with communicable illness.

Moving Safely

Children naturally move during music class, and that energy is part of the experience. To help keep everyone safe while instruments are being passed around, we ask that children not run in the classroom.
