REGISTRATION:
Registration is on a first come first served basis.
Please use our online registration form > or call Kristen to reserve your child's place in class. Gift Certificates > are available for music classes or for something from our music catalog. Full payment is due with your registration. Please print and mail your registration form with payment, or register by phone.
There is no registration fee for returning families.
A full refund will be given if you
withdrawal before the first day of the semester (ex.
Winter - before January 7th). If you withdrawal
on or after the first day of the semester, a $15.00
early withdrawal fee will be deducted from your credit
as well as any class fees, depending on the week of the
semester. This credit will remain on file for one
year from the date issued after which time, the credit
will expire.
Like most programs, we cannot refund or give credit for classes missed during the semester, even if absences have been frequent. Nonetheless, at the discretion of the director, partial credit may be provided towards future classes in cases of prolonged absence due to severe illness, or other unusual circumstances.
No refunds or credits will be issued after the
fifth week of your current semester. The computation of this tuition credit does not include the registration fees or any instrument purchases, or a $60.00 fee covering open materials and early withdrawal after the first day of classes (ex.
Winter before January 7th). There are NO refunds
or credits for the Camp/Holiday semesters. All
registrations are considered final after the first
class of the camp/holiday semester.
Materials returned in their original sealed condition, the first week of classes, will be credited. No credit will be given for materials returned after the first week of class or if materials are returned in poor condition or opened.

MAKE-UP POLICY:
You will be able to schedule 2 make-up classes during this 10 week
fall session. Fall families cannot carry make-up
into the HOLIDAY semester, unless they are registered for
BOTH fall and Holiday. There are no make-ups
for the 3 week holiday semester.
Non-registered siblings are allowed to attend make-up classes. However, there will be a charge for the extra child.
For Winter,
Spring and Fall semesters:
 If you have
2 make-ups to do and you need to bring a non-registered child with you to your make-up class, each child will count as 1 make-up. You will have no make-ups left to do.
If you have 1 make-up to do and you need to bring a non-registered child with you, the charge for the extra child will be $15.00 in cash.
*A fee will apply to ALL
extra children you bring to your regularly scheduled
class. You must call, in advance, to register
them as an additional child for your class. The
charge for each extra child will be $15.00 per class attended,
no exceptions will be made. If you arrive to class without prior notification of the extra child, the teacher has the right to turn you away
if the class is too large or if you are unable to
provide payment. DO NOT bring older siblings to class if they are sick. Non-registered older siblings cannot attend the
Camp or Holiday session. To register for a make-up class, please call Kristen at her home office 215-355-0828, e-mail her at kcmusictogether@comcast.net, or use our online Make-up Class Registration form >.
If you know that you will be absent weeks in advance please tell your child's teacher as this will allow for extra make-up people in your class.
If you have registered for a make-up class and do not call to cancel before 8:00am the morning of, this will count as a make-up for you and your child.

THE BEST THING YOU CAN DO FOR YOUR CHILD:
It is Music Together's® philosophy that children should not be forced into musical behaviors. Please allow your child the freedom to experience music in whatever way he or she chooses.
The BEST thing you can do for your child is model musical behavior by singing and actively participating in the activities, yourself. Having a good time is very contagious.
Parent involvement is important to having a successful Music Together experience with your child. I count on you to participate and serve as the “ultimate” role model for you child and the other children. Don't forget to SING and have FUN!

TALKING POLICY:
Refrain from talking to your friends during class. It is very important for the children to realize that we are here to experience music. If you talk rather than sing, the children will think that talking is an acceptable behavior when actually it is distracting to everyone and it is especially difficult for your teacher to sing over the talking.

CELL PHONES:
Please turn off cell phone ringers (vibrate is acceptable) during class time. Cell phone use in the classroom during class time is not permitted. In case of emergencies, please step out of the classroom to accept the call.
Please do not text friends and family during class
either. This is very disruptive to the class.
Thanks you in advance.
Policies and Procedures >

TAPES/CDs:
Repetition, repetition, repetition! The more you listen at home, in the car or at Grandmom's, etc., the more your child will respond in class and at home. Be sure to involve the rest of the family.

INCLEMENT WEATHER:
In case of inclement weather, please check our web site. On the Home page is a snow flake button - click on it to find out if classes are running or cancelled due to bad weather! You can also call 215-355-0828 and listen to a recorded message. It is impossible for me to call everyone individually.
If class is cancelled, I will try to add a date to the end of this session for an automatic make-up.
Policies and Procedures >

BEHAVIOR:
I may ask for intervention, or I may intervene if your child's behavior is a concern for himself or others in the class. (Ex: throwing instruments, WILD running, etc.)
The goal here is to keep the class safe. If at any point, your child is hurt, please be sure to fill out an accident report before you leave the facility.

DIAPER CHANGING:
Please be prepared! We have been asked by ALL of our locations that if you need to change you child's diaper that you take it with you when you leave. Thank you for cooperating!
Policies and Procedures >

| |
FOOD AND DRINK:
NO FOOD during class. This can be disruptive to the other class members and is not fair. If your child must have something to eat please take them outside the classroom and come back in when you are finished.
Please remember cups without spill-proof lids will not be permitted. Again we would appreciate if you would take your child outside the circle let them drink and then put it away.
Please remember that there is always a possibility of a child having a severe food allergy in class and I ask that we all respect each others concerns for our children's well being.
Huntingdon Valley classroom = NO shoes, NO food and NO
drinks- water is OK! Thanks

ILLNESS:
With the Cold and Flu season approaching, we need to be extra careful to keep our instruments and out environment clean and safe for all, including the teachers. If your child has had a fever or diarrhea, they should be free from these for at least 24 hours before returning to class. If they have a cold with a multi colored running nose, or just they are not feeling quite like normal, PLEASE do not bring them to class. We have children in class who are at many different stages of oral development and taste testing is what they do. Please help us keep the germs out as best we can. Thanks in advance understanding!
P.S. Feel free to use the Purell in class!
