HOW CAN ADULTS PARTICIPATE MOST EFFECTIVELY IN CLASS?
Parents and caregivers set the stage for the class and model behavior appropriate for our class setting. You are your child’s greatest teacher! Grown-ups are also responsible for the safety and well-being of their children at all times before, during and after class. Your child may be inspired to move around the room during class, which is totally age appropriate and encouraged! Please stay close to your child as they explore the space and monitor their activity.
While class is a social as well as musical environment, active adult participation is the absolute best way to encourage your child to participate. Out of respect for your teachers and classmates, please keep non-musical conversation, phone calls, texting, photography and videos to a minimum. For the safety and enjoyment of all, it is preferred that cellphones are not used during class.
