Music & More w/Kelly Policies

Refund Policy The $15 registration fee is non-refundable. You may receive refund or credit towards a future session if you cancel prior to the start of a session. You may receive a refund or credit towards a future session, less the cost of music and number of classes attended, if you cancel registration following the start of a session. Only unopened materials may be returned for greater refund, within first two weeks, when decision to leave class is made. Following week three, pro-rated credit may be issued upon review of individual circumstances. Refund less the materials and classes attended may be issued when extraordinary circumstances exist such as death in the family, extreme illness or a move out of state. All refunds are made by check and mailed to address on file.

Make-up Class Policy Make up classes are available for Music Together classes. There are no make-ups for Drum & Fun, Lango, and Musical Me. Music Together participants are allowed 2 make-ups ONLY. Make-ups cannot be carried over to other sessions. Make-ups can be scheduled in classes where space is available. Some classes are restricted and are not available for makeup. Make-ups are not guaranteed except to those starting the session late! We offer make-ups because we can appreciate how busy your family's schedule can be. Please do not leave scheduling make ups to the very end of the session! To schedule a makeup, you may call at least 48 hours in advance (973-761-1549) or you may schedule on our website.

Other Information You Should Know

Class Closings

Classes may be canceled in case of bad weather. IF FULL SESSION DOES NOT OCCUR DUE TO SNOW DAYS, OR OTHER ACTS OF NATURE, MONETARY REFUNDS ARE NOT AVAILABLE. CREDIT TOWARD FUTURE CLASSES WILL BE GIVEN TO THOSE AFFECTED. In general, if the Maplewood/South Orange schools are closed due to inclement weather, Music Together classes will be cancelled also. All holidays we close for are listed on the top of this notice. Classes may also be cancelled due to teacher illness if a substitute is not available. All cancelled classes will be made up at the end of the session. CALL THE VOICEMAIL OR CHECK THE WEBSITE FOR WEATHER CANCELLATIONS (Updates page).

Classroom Etiquette

Please turn off cell phones or use the vibrate option if you must have it on. Phone calls should not be accepted during class time.
Drinking and eating must take place outside the classroom to avoid distractions. Nursing is acceptable in class.
Do not leave class early if at all possible. Putting on coats and gathering things is distracting to others.
Always wipe off instruments with alcohol when your child has placed them in his mouth.
If your child is crying, use your best judgment as to when she should removed from the room to calm down.
Allow your child the freedom to roam, but always BE ALERT. So space is completely child-proof.
Keep socializing with other adults down between songs. Enjoy trying to create a completely musical environment – if you’re socializing, you may miss important musical developments in your child. Too much socializing during class can be over-stimulating for the children.

Health Policy

We take time to sanitize all our instruments and materials. Scarves are washed at least weekly. Wet ones are removed immediately for washing. A solution of listerine or vinegar and water is used to clean music space and instruments. We use alcohol wipes and require caregivers to clean instruments after instruments have been mouthed. We ask that all participants wash their hands before and after their music class. Hand sanitizer is made available. Please do not put your teacher in an uncomfortable position by bringing a sick child to class. You must stay home if you and/or child have:

Persistent Cough
Very Runny Nose, with thick or discolored discharge
Fever—not present without medication for at least 24 hours
Diarrhea
Vomiting—less than 24 hours

Siblings and Other Guests

· YOU MUST CALL THE VOICE MAIL 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE IF YOU NEED TO BRING A GUEST (more than 2 adults per child) OR A STUDENT’S SIBLING. There is a possibility that there will not be room for guests. If you call 24 hours in advance and do not hear back from the office, you may bring the guest.

A guest may not come more than one time per session.
You must pay $10 extra per class that you bring a non-registered guest age 6 or younger, whether they participate or not. No exceptions please. The $10 is payable to your teacher.
If you do not call in advance, you may be asked to leave. This is not meant to be harsh; rather there are a limited number of instruments and teachers do not want to hurt any child’s feelings by having to deny them an instrument. Also, it is unfair to current clients to overcrowd classes.
