Music Together® Guidelines 

PARTICIPATION: In this class, it is essential for the adults to participate! The children learn their attitudes and motivations from you, and you can help them become enthusiastic music-makers just by enjoying the class and participating fully. You will be an excellent model regardless of your musical ability —a sense of fun is all required. For the children's benefit, our goal is to make class time a music-immersion experience. 

FOOD: No food is allowed in class due to serious and sometimes life-threatening food allergies. Food must be consumed in a different space before or after music class.   

ILLNESS: Please don't come to class if you or your child is sick. Instead, please use our unlimited makeup policy and schedule a makeup. Please note that makeups can not be carried over to another semester, so please plan your makeup as soon as possible after your missed class and by the last class date. Spots are offered on a space availability basis.

CELL PHONE: Please set your cell phone to vibrate or turn it off during class, and please put it away in a pocket or bag. Please do not talk or text on your phone during class, as it distracts others. If something urgent arises, please step away to make your call, taking your child with you, unless there is another adult there to supervise your child. If you have another adult bringing your child to class (i.e.:Nanny), please go over this guideline with that person.

PHOTOS/VIDEOS: Some families may feel uncomfortable with photos and videotaping in class, so please limit this to a few quick ones when you first arrive or during the free dance and/or instrument play (of YOUR child only). Then please put your phone away, in your pocket or bag, and prepare for making music with your child, modeling that, and creating a fun, comfortable, community environment. We are happy to let you use our props to take a photo/video before or after class. Please ask your teacher. 

RUNNING IN CLASS - NO "LAP-RUNNING": Children are learning about their bodies and exploring how music makes them feel, and running might be a part of that. However, if you notice your child starting to move off your blanket, please redirect them back to your blanket. If your child still really wants to run, wander or visit others, try placing your blanket in the back. Try dancing back. Then continue participating and have safe fun with us.

DO NOT LEAVE CHILD IN UNATTENDED: Children must be under the care and control of their caregiver at all times during class, ensuring the safety and well-being of their children and others in the class. Under no circumstances may they be left during class without their specific caregiver. Note: they may not be left with some other adult in class.

ADDITIONAL ADULTS: Other adults are allowed but since our classes are based on the musical model, they must participate.

REFUNDS:  Refunds requested 48 hrs prior to when class begins will be subject to a $40.00 processing fee. No refunds or credits will be issued once class begins. Physical materials are included in tuition and are not returnable or refundable. They are not available to unregistered families.

 

SIBLINGS (0-5YRS) AND AGE 6 AND OVER SIBLINGS OR OTHER SIBLING ISSUES

• Our program goes to age 5. Therefore, if you have a 5 yr old older sibling of a child in a 0-5yr class, the 5 yr old can also be registered with a sibling discount. 

• In mixed age (0-5yrs) or babies only (12mo and under) classes, if the older sibling is age 6 or over, they may come in as a musical model, the same as "additional adults" (see above) without scheduling. They are expected to participate with adults.

• In mixed age (0-5yrs) or babies only (12mo and under) classes, unregistered siblings under age 6 may come but must be registered as a Dropin or Make-up. We allow siblings to use a make-up if you have a make; however they must be scheduled as a "make up". Please show in notes: older sibling (name). Please do not bring the older sibling without scheduling.

• In our babies only (12mo and under) classes, siblings aged 1-5 are not allowed in class. Please schedule a make-up if you find you need to bring both due to childcare issues.

SIBLINGS 8 MONTHS AND UNDER are Complimentary with paid sibling: Siblings of a paid registrant, 8 months and under, as of first day of class, are free of charge. Proof of date of birth must be provided to instructor on first day of class. 

SIBLINGS 6 YEARS or OLDER are Complimentary with paid sibling: Siblings of a paid registrant, 6 years or older, as of first day of class, are free of charge. Proof of date of birth must be provided to instructor on first day of class. 

 

TEACHERS: For reasons beyond our control it may be necessary to change the teacher for a given class. Though it's extremely rare, Peninsula Music Together reserves the right to make teacher changes without prior notice in order to keep a class going. All PMT teachers are trained by Music Together LLC.

 

MAKEUPS: As a courtesy, Peninsula Music Together allows unlimited makeups which can not be rolled over to another semester and MUST BE SCHEDULED by the last class date in the semester. The make up class can be done in any of our classes that show spots available on the scheduler. We have almost 60 classes per week, even on Saturday and Sunday! BUT MAKEUP MUST BE SCHEDULED.

REFUNDS

Refunds are not available after first class. We regret that there can be no refunds after the first class. Your spot in class has been sold and cannot necessarily be resold. Many classes are full and people have been turned away when the spot is booked. Tuition refunds issued prior to first class may be possible depending on the location. Please check directly with them.

Note: Materials are non-returnable

PRO-RATED TUITION: Pro-rated tuition is available.

SONG COLLECTION MATERIALS: 9 different Song Collections are rotated over 3 years. They are part of the class and included in the tuition. (one set per family) They are not optional and in fact enhance the experience more than we can say!
