Step 1: Know your path

Which family are you?

Your next step depends on where you are in the MusicVersity journey. Both paths lead to the same place.

Members prior to June 2026
We are continuing members.

Your family was enrolled with MusicVersity prior to June 2026 as a Premium, Standard or Foundations Member. You have lived the programme for months or years. You know what it does for your child. Your options for the year ahead:

  • Standard In-Person
  • Standard Live Online
  • Standard On-Demand
  • Premium Membership
    Where eligible
Joining for Sept 2026 – July 2027
We are coming in as new members.

From your Oye, Ramajay or JAVA MusicAtion introductory experience, you saw the potential for your child’s development. You leaned in. Our Specialist confirmed what your family already knew: you are ready. New families may enrol as:

  • Standard In-Person
  • Standard Live Online
  • Standard On-Demand

The confidence, the focus, the growth other families talk about — now it is your family’s turn to live it.

Because when the structure supports the family, the child is free to keep growing.

Step 2: Membership tiers

The families who stay, get more.

Standard membership is where the journey begins. Premium is what it becomes.

Premium isn’t a different programme, it’s the same transformative experience, earned through consistency. Families who stay for two or more years unlock a tier built around one thing: removing every barrier that could interrupt your child’s progress.

★★★★★

“I’ve seen her go from clingy and resistant at age 3 to independent, enthusiastic, and sometimes Ms. Lisa’s assistant with the little ones, at 12 years old. Nine years in, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Amanda's daughter as a young child at Alabanza Music
Then

“At the beginning (age 4) we were only interested in her learning to play an instrument. We didn’t really do much research about Musikgarten before.”

“It was only by being in the programme ... that I started to learn ... how it develops the brain and helps the child in all areas.”

★★★★★

Nine years. Two families. Watch them grow.

“The biggest change in her was her Confidence. Her listening skills have also improved and her memory has surely strengthened over the years.”

Common questions

Your questions answered

What happens during the Iere semester? +

Iere runs May 1 to July 17, 2027, closing with Graduation on July 17. It is the final semester of the MusicVersity year and the one that unlocks the Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion for families who have completed Parrandero and Calypso. Graduation is included at no additional cost.

How does registration work? +

Registration opens to current members first. Once member spaces are confirmed, remaining spots open to new families by waitlist. Spaces are intentionally limited. If you are ready to join, do not wait.

What payment options are available? +

Standard membership is TT$2,500 per semester, tuition and all learning resources included. Two ways to pay: in full (TT$2,500), or split: TT$1,500 now and TT$1,100 at semester midpoint. All Standard families pay a one-time MusicVersity Placement Fee of TT$400. Once your application is confirmed, we will send you a secure payment link for your preferred payment option. We no longer accept Republic Bank transfers. Families who complete the full MusicVersity year retain their place for the following September. A break at any point resets membership to new family status and the Placement Fee applies again.

How do I qualify for Premium membership? +

Premium is available to families who have been consistently enrolled for 2 or more consecutive years. Premium members are fully covered across all semesters, no additional admin fees ever.

Who receives the Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion? +

The official Musikgarten® Certificate of Completion is awarded to children who complete all three semesters: Parrandero, Calypso and Iere, within the year.

What payment methods do you accept? +

We accept PayPal for USD payments. We no longer accept Republic Bank transfers. Once your application is confirmed, we will send you a secure payment link for your preferred payment option.

What happens if semester dates change? +

Semester dates are confirmed annually. Any updates to dates are communicated directly to enrolled families.

Are spaces really limited? +

Yes, and this is intentional. Class sizes are kept small to maintain the quality, responsiveness and individual attention that defines the Alabanza experience. Some classes fill before the semester officially opens to new families.

Every stage has a critical window.

Every week you wait is a week of growth your child misses.

Every stage, from baby to tween, has a critical window for music, language and growth. Strategic families start early and stay consistent.

Spaces are strictly limited. Some classes are already full. Register early to secure your spot.
