Here are just a few little administrative ditties and classroom policies to ensure that we’re making some great Music Together^®!

CLASSROOM CONDUCT

Participation
This program is incredibly effective, and you’ll marvel at how much your child and family grow from being a part of it. BUT – you will only get out of it as much as you put into it! So cherish our classroom time together as your special music-making time with your child. Come to class leaving your inhibitions behind! Be ready to sing, dance and get goofy. Remember – your children place no judgment on your perceived musical skill – they don’t care if you can sing in tune or dance to a beat. All they care about is if you’re having a good time

Protect the Music
Protect our musical time together by making all efforts to keep talking to a minimum. Children hear talking all day long, so Music Together® time is their time to get away from it and immerse themselves in music. Please don’t deny them of that treat! They look so forward to it all week

Food and Drink
PLEASE DO NOT BRING FOOD INTO YOUR CLASSROOM. Snacking usually creates a chain reaction, and we don’t know what kind of allergies are lurking about, so for everyone’s safety, please keep all snacks outside of the classroom area. However, drinks are fine so long as they are in spill-proof containers.

Classroom Attire
All you really need to bring to class is your energy and enthusiasm for singing and dancing! However, it’s never a bad idea to also pack along some non-skid socks or slippers for your little ones just so they can move around safely. And for our wee ones that aren’t moving yet – bring a cozy blanket to lay him/her on. Please do not wear your outdoor shoes into any of our studio spaces – take them off at the door and place them in the boot areas provided. We ask you to do this not only so that we can be courteous and respectful of the policies of the spaces we rent, but also and especially so that we can keep the floors as clean as possible for our little music makers that are still crawling.

Dirty Diapers
Most of our locations do not have other programs for wee ones, so they don’t have an effective diaper disposal policy in place. With this in mind, we ask that you take dirty diapers with you and dispose of them outside of the studio.

Strollers & Car Seats
Unless it is an absolute necessity, we kindly ask that you leave your stroller outside the classroom area. Because they are so bulky, they really cut in to our free movement space. However, car seats are fine – but there’s one rule – if your little one is in a car seat, make sure you place him/her next to you so s/he can be a part of the circle. Our babies are integral to the dynamic of the class, so we want them to be in on the action, not sitting on the sidelines.

Masks
Masking is strongly encouraged (but not mandatory) for all participants ages 4yrs+

Guests
Sibling Guests
We offer each family 2 guest sibling passes every semester. Registration is FREE but required in order to keep track of numbers and for contact tracing purposes. Simply go to the "Guest Sibling Drop-In" link on the "ENROLLED FAMILIES" tab on our website to register your guest sibling's attendance.

Adult Guests
Grandmas, Grampas, Aunts, Uncles - as many adults in your circle that want to be involved in your child's musical fun are welcomed guests in our circle. However - ALL guest must answer the Daily Health Checklist on the morning of the class they intend to attend.

Sickness Policy
All attendees are required to clear the Daily Health Screening Checklist on the morning of each class every week. Should any participant (child or adult) answer YES to any of the questions on the screening checklist YOU ARE REQUIRED TO STAY HOME and instead take advantage of our Unlimited Make-Up Class Policy and reschedule class for a later date when you are free and clear of symptoms
