The primary goal of Music Together® is the achievement of
BASIC MUSIC COMPETENCE
Or BMC
GUIDELINES for your participation in class
The activities are structured so that all ages can participate at their own level. There will be mixed ages in each class.
Together we will show children what music looks like, sounds like and feels like. You are your child's most important musical role model, so your participation in singing and moving is key, regardless of your musical ability; just show your child that you are having fun!.
Relax and enjoy yourself and resist the impulse to control your child's responses (i.e. clapping hands for them, correcting the rhythm etc.) Appreciate your child's own response and learning style. Your child will learn by watching you!
It is OK for the children to move around freely within a safe boundary. If the instruments go into their mouths, we have a special basket to place them in, and we will disinfect them. It is also OK for the children to hold onto the instruments if they are not quite ready to give them up.
It is very important to keep socializing with other adults to a minimum during class in order to keep the class flowing and to keep the focus on your child. Chatting during the songs creates a very distracting murmur for the children and the teacher. It is also important to be quiet between the songs. This is when we will be listening for responses from the children and your teacher will be introducing tonal and rhythm patterns.
OUR POLICIES
MAKE-UPS
We have an unlimited make-up policy, but they must be scheduled on the website within the current session. We ask that you "unschedule" yourself if you cannot make it to your make-up class, so the space can be open for another family.
REFUNDS
Refunds minus $50 service fee will be issued if cancelled before the start of class. There will be no refunds after the start of the session.
If you have extenuating circumstances, please contact us.
INCLEMENT WEATHER CLOSING
If the center is closed or delayed for a storm, classes for that day will be cancelled. To make up classes canceled by the teacher, we will add an extra week at the end of the semester.
You can get notification of closures on your local news station
or you can call or text Sharon (603) 498-7110.
One more very important reminder:
Have Fun!
