Guidelines for class participation
Child/adult participants should not attend class if either is experiencing COVID-19 symptoms or other signs of illness.
What parents and caregivers should do:
- Be the best musical model you can be for your child. Participate in singing, chanting and moving in class and at home.
- Avoid moving your child's limbs for him or her.
- Encourage your child to babble tonally and rhythmically, but NEVER force your child to make a music response in class or at home.
- Encourage your child to move freely and continuously, but NEVER force your child to move in class or at home.
- If your child hears a piano being played at home, make sure the piano is tuned.
- Please remember that classes are not performance classes. Music Play classes have been designed to allow each child to develop his or her musicianship in a natural and unpressured manner.
Additional considerations:
- No drinks or snacks are allowed in the classroom. Please step outside the classroom if your child needs a drink or snack; then rejoin the group.
- Strollers, diaper bags and other personal items should be stored in room 108.
- Parents and caregivers are encouraged to bring tape recorders to record classes for personal use at home. Any other use of taped recordings of class is prohibited.
