Welcome to Mini Melodies!

We look forward to seeing your family in class each week! We've got so many wonderful songs and fun activities to share with you!

Health and Safety

Masks: Masks are currently optional for both indoor and outdoor classes. We reserve the right to change mask requirements to align with current guidelines. 

Student Illness: Please do not come to class with any symptoms of illness. We have a very generous make up policy so you can rest easy knowing you will get in all of your classes. 

Instruments: We are providing instruments for class. If you are not yet ready to use ours, please feel free to bring your own. You can continue to make your own out of household items or you can purchase and instrument bag from us here. We disinfect our mouthed items after each class and all instruments once a week using soap and water and/or a thyme-extract cleaner that kills viruses, bacteria and fungi. During class, please put all mouthed instruments in the instrument spa. 

Classroom Policies

Phone Free Classroom:  You are welcome to take one or two photos during class but we aim to be as present as possible. Please no videos longer than a few seconds because of our copyrighted material. We plan to create the best possible learning environment for your child and we appreciate your help in achieving this goal. We do allow for unlimited photo taking during our last week of each semester. 

Shoe Free Classroom: please remove shoes to help us keep the floor as clean as possible for our little movers and groovers.

Cleanliness: Because of janitorial schedules, locations have asked us to please bag dirty diapers before disposal. 

Food and Drink: Please no food or drink in the classroom, except water. Of course bottles and breastfeeding are welcome at any time. We want to keep our focus on music making as much as possible, as well as keeping our locations as clean as possible. If your child must snack during class, please take them outside.

Your Child: We expect kids to be kids, however they participate is just fine! We only ask you to intervene and redirect if it is something dangerous like running, throwing or hitting. 

Participation: Adult participation is key! Your kids and watching and learning from you, plus it just makes it more fun!

Visitors: Adult caregivers are welcome at any time. Please read and explain these guidelines to them before they come. We request that visitors participate rather than watch. Siblings and friends may be asked to donate to Reprise Foundation for the Arts scholarship fund ($10 suggested). Click here for link. Please try to let us know in advance, whenever possible, of guest attendance. 

Scheduling

Make Up Classes: Families who’ve had to miss a class will be given the opportunity to attend a make-up class via the Family Portal. Instructions can be found here and will also be e-mailed out. These make-up classes have limited availability and are not guaranteed. No refunds or credits will be given for missed classes.  

Inclement Weather (outdoor classes): In the rare case of rain or excessive heat, outdoor classes will take place on zoom instead. An email will go out no less than an hour before class if this is the case. 

Outside the Classroom

Listening to your music at home: Download the free Music Together^® App and listen from anywhere. The more you listen to music outside of class, the better!

Making music part of your home routine: Don't be afraid to do the activities we do in class, at home! Incorporating music into your routine is key. 

Misc.

Refunds: Mini Melodies does not offer refunds under any circumstances. Credit for future semesters can be offered at the discretion of the director in the case of emergencies.

Refer a friend discount: Word of mouth is our best advertising. If a friend registers and puts your name in the "How did you hear about us" field, you will receive a $15 credit toward your next semester. If you love what you experience, please tell your friends!
