Music Together® Class Policy

General Policy

  • Tuition for Music Together is based on each family unit. Families should not share passwords, access codes or online content with anyone else not living under the same roof.
  • Part of your tuition contains a non-refundable $50 enrollment fee. We can refund tuition for unused classes but we cannot refund the $50 fee once you take home your materials.
  • Adults must attend every class with their children and no child may be unattended at any time.
  • Health requirements may change at any time in accordance with CDC and local government regulations.
  • In the event of severe weather, class will be held on Zoom for the day.

Classroom Rules

  • We encourage you to put away your cell phone so you can enjoy an immersive musical experience with your child. If you’d like to take pictures, a good time is during the instrument playalong. Otherwise, please silence your cell phone and put it out of your way.
  • Food and drinks are prohibited in our classroom, other than water and bottles for babies.
  • Breastfeeding and bottle feeding of infants during class is welcome and fully supported by all of our staff.
  • For your safety, running, rough housing, and behavior or sounds that are distracting or compromise the learning environment of class are not allowed. If you child has problems with running or distracting behavior, please go outside the room to have a chat with your child to remind him or her of the rules, then come in and try again. Your teacher is trained on how to help children manage their behavior in class so please feel free to discuss concerns or an action plan with your teacher regularly.
  • Mattix Music Inc. is not responsible for loss or damage to your belongings.
  • Teachers are subject to change based on availability and sickness.

Attendance Policy

  • Students are allowed unlimited make-up classes within each class term. Students cannot attend more classes than the session total, which is typically 10 in the school year and 6 in the summer.
  • If you would like to schedule a make-up class, please email our office at [email protected] to arrange a make-up class or use our Online Make-Up Scheduler.
  • Classes that are not made up or missed in each session do not roll over into the next session.
  • Students may attend with multiple caregivers, but be considerate of how full your class is and how many people are regularly attending. 

Sickness Policy

  • If a child has a fever or obvious signs of sickness (coughing, runny nose, etc.), please stay home and attend a make-up class when your family is well. If a student attends who is clearly sick and contagious, teachers may ask you to leave.
  • Because we have children who are too young to be fully vaccinated or children who are immunocompromised, please do not bring any family member who may be infected or carrying a communicable disease.

 

Assumption of the Risk and Waiver of Liability Relating to Coronavirus/COVID-19

The novel coronavirus, COVID-19, has been declared a worldwide pandemic by the World Health Organization. COVID-19 is extremely contagious and is believed to spread mainly from person-to-person contact. As a result, federal, state, and local governments and federal and state health agencies recommend social distancing and have, in many locations, prohibited the congregation of groups of people. Mattix Music Inc. has put in place preventative measures to reduce the spread of COVID-19; however, we cannot guarantee that you or your child(ren) will not become infected with COVID-19. Further, attending music classes could increase your risk and your child(ren)’s risk of contracting COVID-19.

By enrolling in classes, you acknowledge the contagious nature of COVID-19 and voluntarily assume the risk that your child(ren) and you may be exposed to or infected by COVID-19 by attending music classes and that such exposure or infection may result in personal injury, illness, permanent disability, and death.

On my behalf, and on behalf of my children, you hereby release, covenant not to sue, discharge, and hold harmless Mattix Music Inc., its employees, agents, and representatives, of and from the Claims, including all liabilities, claims, actions, damages, costs or expenses of any kind arising out of or relating thereto.
