For Every Family in our Community

Values

Our mission is to change the world through music while developing confidence, community, and collaboration in a caring environment.

We are committed to providing an excellent musical and customer experience for our families. Our priority is taking good care of your family!

Getting Started

Students can enroll at anytime using our website or the Parent Portal. We prorate tuition for a given month based on when you enroll.

Every student – Kindermusik or Lessons – should expect a 5-6 week transition to learn the rituals and routines of your class or lesson experience.

100% Satisfaction Guarantee

We hope you will be delighted with your Kindermusik enrollment! If you are not completely satisfied with your Kindermusik experience after attending the first four consecutive classes, then we will refund or credit your first month of tuition.

Resources for Home

Every Kindermusik family receives resources for home including a personal instrument kit designed for your child’s age and dozens of albums that you can stream via the Kindermusik App. Download the Kindermusik App today and start exploring.

Private Lesson students receive access to our digital assignment notebook, Practice Space. This tool is available as a website link and as an App for your phone or tablet. Teachers use this resource as a communication tool about practice assignments and goal setting. It is also an ideal tool for sharing videos, musical listening tracks, and worksheets to supplement your lesson experience. Missed Lesson Assignments will be delivered via the Practice Space App as well.

Makeup Classes

As part of your Kindermusik enrollment, families have unlimited makeup classes as long as you are continuously enrolled. Makeup classes are a courtesy and are not guaranteed. Makeup classes must be booked within 60 days of the absence. Book your makeups using your Parent Portal Account found in our Kathys’ Music App. No refunds or discounts will be given for missed classes. If you do not attend your Kindermusik makeup class, the makeup will be lost. The ability to makeup Kindermusik classes ends when your enrollment is paused.

Private Lesson families are invited to attend lessons virtually if they cannot be in the studio in person. Students will have the ability to book in-person makeup lessons for eligible absences with their teacher during the school year. Limit of 4 (2 in the Fall and 2 in the Spring). An eligible absence is one submitted via the Parent Portal. For ineligible absences, students receive a customized Missed Lesson Assignment in Practice Space. Scheduled absences and booked makeups cannot be canceled or rescheduled. Makeups are a courtesy and not guaranteed. 

Change in Enrollment

If you need to make a change or pause your enrollment, use the “Change My Enrollment” form available in the Kathy’s Music App or from our Student Hub in the website menu. We must receive a change request by the last business day of the month to avoid charges for the next month. Look for a confirmation email to confirm that your change request has been received and processed. If a change request is submitted on the 1st of the month, the payment will still be run for the current month. No refunds are given for payments run before a change is processed.  No spaces are held once an enrollment is paused. The ability to makeup Kindermusik classes or lessons ends when your enrollment is paused.

Payments

There is a $45 registration fee per student for Kindermusik school year registrations that is non-refundable. Summer Kindermusik registrations for new families to our program will be charged a $25 registration fee that is non-refundable.

NOTE: Private lesson families are charged a $45 registration fee per family. There is no summer registration fee for private lessons.

Tuition payments are monthly by credit card. All enrolled families will be charged a payment on the 1st of each month. No refunds will be given for families who cancel enrollment after the 1st of the month or for missed classes.

Summer Camps, Lessons, and Classes: Payment is run at the time of registration for the 8-week session of Kindermusik or at the time of registration for summer camps. Summer Lesson Tuition is run on June 1st with one payment for the entire package (typically 3 hours of instruction across the 3 months with flexible scheduling.) All changes or cancellations to SUMMER class registrations must be completed BEFORE May 1st. All cancellations will be subject to a refund of up to the full price of the session minus a $50 processing fee per camp or class enrollment. For those registrations dated May 1st and following, no cancellations or refunds will be issued.

Safety

Illness – If your child or student is sick, it is important to stay home to protect the other children and families in the class or your lesson teacher. This is also part of our Health and Safety policy.  Enjoy listening to music at home this week while resting up!

For the safety of our children, we invite you to schedule a Kindermusik makeup class using the Kathy’s Music App in order to maintain class sizes that are conducive to learning. Login to the parent portal and book a makeup.

Non-Enrolled Siblings in Kindermusik

Due to limited class sizes and the delicacy of the younger class settings, baby classes (0 to 2 yrs) and toddler classes (2’s & 3’s) can only accommodate non-enrolled siblings when the sibling is young enough to stay contented in a car carrier or a baby wrap. GREAT NEWS!! If you are registered for Kindermusik level 3, 4, or 5, siblings are invited to join us at the end of class for Sharing Time.

Inclement Weather Policy

Kathy’s Music will make weather-related decisions based on local conditions. These decisions can vary based on the studio location and are independent of school district decisions. We will use the Kathy’s Music App to keep our families notified of changes due to Inclement Weather.

If Kindermusik classes, Group Lessons, or Private Lessons are not able to meet in person due to inclement weather, then families are invited to join us online via Zoom. Lessons will meet at the same day and time. Kindermusik classes will be held with a consolidated scheduled sent out via the Kathy’s Music app. Each class or lesson has a zoom link and password available to families when needed. Login to your account via the Kathy’s Music App. Class information will be displayed for each student enrolled. Look for the words “Zoom Link – Password: XXXXX” in the class detail box. Click those words to launch Zoom and enter the password provided. To be fully prepared: Download the Kathy’s Music App from iTunes or Google Play to your device. Take time to login to your account via the app to be notified when weather conditions impact your class or your studio location. Make sure that app notifications are turned on. We do not reschedule weather-related cancellations. Teachers have the option to provide video-recorded lesson material or group lessons for a weather-related cancellation.
