Join us for the Maracas Song Collection this Spring!

Your children will love the energy of this collection! New songs include the enchantingly rhythmic “Al citrón,” based on a traditional Latin American children’s game, and “‘Bout My Friends,” sure to have everyone dancing to its funky blues. In addition to your weekly classes, tuition includes materials for you to use at home, access to the online Family Music Zone and Hello Everybody app, and a family newsletter full of resources and music-making ideas!

Scholarship

We do our best to make Music Together accessible to everyone. Scholarships are possible upon request. We can also sometimes barter (goods, services, etc.) for class tuition. If you have any questions or would like to submit an application, please contact us.

Class size

Class size ranges from 6-12 enrolled children. A minimum of six students is required for a class to run. We reserve the right to combine or cancel classes, and refund tuition, if this minimum is not met.

Infant Siblings

Infant siblings under 10 months on the first day of class attend free of charge with enrolled sibling in Mixed Ages Classes. Please enter their name and birth date in the comments section on the registration form.

Withdrawal and Cancellation Policy

A full refund or credit of tuition, less a $30 administrative fee, will be given for cancellations prior to the first class. Extenuating circumstances resulting in the need to withdraw after the first class will be evaluated on a case by case basis (please contact the director, Dara Azimov) and a credit for future classes may be issued. In the event of inclement weather or other unforseen circumstances resulting in class cancellations, we will make every effort to offer make-up classes. Refunds will not be issued for class closures that are mandatory or beyond our control.

Sickness Policy

Help prevent the spread of germs by staying home if your child is excessively coughing/sneezing, has fever or vomiting in the last 24 hrs, or if they have a visible, undiagnosed rash. It is common in children for a sniffle or runny nose to linger after contagion has passed; exercise your own discretion in deciding if it is appropriate to be in a group environment with your child.  Feel free to contact us if you’re unsure. Your care for the community is greatly appreciated!

NB: Coronavirus preventative measures — do not attend class if you or your child are experiencing ANY cough, fever, or respiratory distress. We reserve the right to ask a family to leave class if they are exhibiting symptoms congruent with COVID-19.

Make-up Classes

Families may attend any of our regularly scheduled classes, space permitting, to make up for a missed class. You’re welcome to come to an unlimited number of make-up classes or during our regular schedule. Under special circumstances (ex: inclement weather), we may schedule an extra make-up class, which will be announced by email to enrolled families. Make-up classes do not carry over into future sessions. To schedule your attendance for a make-up class, please email us.

Drop-in Classes

Our classes are offered in 10-week sessions because research shows that children learn best through repetition and routine, plus the continuity week after week helps the children to grow comfortable in the musical setting. However, we understand that some families may not be able to commit to the full session. If there is space in the class of your choice, we allow 2 drop-in classes per family per session. The drop-in fee is $15 and attendance must be arranged ahead of time. You can contact us here to schedule.
