General guidelines:

  • Dress for moving and dancing! This is a very active class!
  • Please leave food, toys or other "distractions" at home or in the car.
  • Students are encouraged to wash their hands before arriving at class.


    Attendance Policy:
  • Tuition is for enrollment, not attendance.
  • As a courtesy, students need to notify their instructor if they are unable to attend a private or group lesson.
  • Please try to be on time.
  • If public school is closed due to bad weather, we will most likely be closed. Feel free to call to confirm a class.


    Be kind, children learn differently:
    Please remember that all children learn at different rates and in different ways. Some children will be quiet in class, others will be active. Some children will do everything perfectly at home, but not in class. As a parent, you know that every child is unique, so check your comparisons at the door and let the music play.
          Any conflicts or problems that may arise during the course should be thoughtfully brought to the attention of the instructor.


    Frequently Asked Questions:

    How long do the classes last each week? Classes for babies and toddlers are 30 minutes per week. Piano lessons for school age children and adults are 30 minutes per week.


    Should Parents attend and participate in the classes? Yes. Parents are an integral part of class.


    Does Musikgarten today better prepare students for piano lessons? Yes. Musikgarten classes develop students aural senses more than other pre-piano methods.


    Are we supposed to practice at home? Yes, home practice is encouraged. Children and parents can have so much fun at home and in the car with Musikgarten songs and dances. In class you learn the songs, but at home is where you really have fun with the songs and dances.


    What if I can't make it one week due to a vacation or other conflict? Please let us know as soon as you know. That way we can work on a plan to accommodate your needs while keeping your child's progress with music on track.
