FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ)
Is there a Parent Orientation session before attending class?
Our Parent Education session (live/virtual/recorded Orientation) is intended to give you deeper insight on appropriate expectations, what activities we do in our classes and the science behind the music and it's benefits for your family.
It is a requirement before attending a class with your child and will help your family members to be adequately prepared to have the best experience possible.
What to expect when we come to class?
Children are constantly absorbing and observing everything around them. Our culturally diverse programme is a carefully researched and designed curriculum of age-appropriate, experiential-based activities which engage, enhance and empower learning.
Each class group is specifically targeted towards the developmental age and abilities of the child, adults included, building upon existing skills and fostering new ones in the areas of music, movement and multi-language. We acknowledge and celebrate each child's journey, so come with an open mind!
Is the Introductory session obligation-free?
Absolutely! We want as many families to benefit from the opportunity. By actively participating in your recommended class alongside other member-families, attending our Parent Education session, we get to know eachother, and you get introduced to a dynamic multilingual music and movement class, the only one of its kind in Trinidad & Tobago. You can continue with us when you're ready to commit and secure your child's development and family education through music.
CAN I COME AGAIN?
You are welcome to use the Introductory Pkg option to visit twice per Semester (First Half and/or Second Half) once there are spots available.
Should I come to see if my child likes it?
Football, gymnastics, dancing, karate... those classes you try out to see if they're good at it or if they like it. As for Music, there is a tonne of research proving music training isn't just for those who show interest in music, but is in fact beneficial to all.
