Did you know sound recognition begins in the womb? Foundations classes are all about exploring and reacting to new sounds, objects, and movements. Plus, parents and caregivers heighten connections with their babies by learning bonding techniques.
Digital albums, narrated e-books, and more are available on our password-protected family platform, accessible via desktop, tablet, or mobile devices.

- Enjoy narrated swipeable books
- Explore instrument play
- Browse kid-friendly craft videos
- And more!
Kindermusik Foundations
The Foundations class is so much more than lullabies and swaying. We teach families how sound exploration, listening activities, and dances help babies communicate, stimulate eye-tracking skills, and learn to move and coordinate new muscles.
- Movement Control
Different movement activities help babies strengthen their core muscles, which increases their sense of balance and control over movements. - Social Adaptability
Group activities allow babies to experience familiar and unfamiliar social experiences in a safe and secure way. - Listening and Communication Skills
Listening to music and doing vocal play exercises helps develop a baby’s back-and-forth communication skills. - Language and Literacy Development
Introducing spoken sounds and rhythms through songs and rhymes helps support language and literacy development.

She began the Kindermusik program at Evola School of Music in 1998, where she was the Lead Kindermusik Educator, Group Class Coordinator and Marketing Director.

Prelude Music Studio Policies and Registration Agreement
Welcome to our studio. We are passionate in our commitment to bringing music into the lives of every child. Our Mission is to provide your family with a class or lesson that promotes Joy, Safety, and Value.
------ KINDERMUSIK CLASSES ------
ATTENDANCE:
- Regular attendance is important to a child’s sense of security. It is important that you make every effort to attend each class on a regular basis. When you pay your tuition, an instructor is assigned for a specific time each week. Your place in the class is exclusively reserved for you; therefore, there are no refunds or credits for classes missed due to student absence (including student illness or personal obligations).
- You may schedule a make-up in any age-appropriate class during the session you are registered for by accessing your account at my.kindermusik.com and selecting make ups from the dropdown menu.
- If you miss a Playdate, you may reschedule by notifying us at least 24 hours in advance.
- If you will be absent, please extend a courtesy call to your teacher. If possible, a 24-hour notice is greatly appreciated. If for any reason your instructor must cancel a class session, the time will either be made up or a credit will be issued to be applied to your next tuition payment.
TUITION PAYMENT:
- All tuition fees for classes are due upon enrollment. Fees for online registrations will be posted automatically and charged to the credit card provided on the registration form.
- Missed classes are neither prorated nor refundable. If, after four weeks, you find that your child isn't making the progress you'd hoped for, don't worry. We'll unenroll you and cancel any further payments. For semester-based classes, we'll issue a credit for the remaining sessions, ensuring you can join us again when the time is right.
------ PRIVATE LESSONS ------
ATTENDANCE:
- Regular attendance and consistent practice are essential for musical progress. Your scheduled lesson time is exclusively reserved for you, and it is important to make every effort to attend each lesson on a regular basis.
- If you will be absent, please extend a courtesy call to your teacher as soon as possible. If your instructor must cancel a scheduled lesson, you will not be charged for that lesson.
TUITION PAYMENT:
- Private Lessons enroll on an ongoing month-to-month basis. Tuition is due the end of the month for the following month. If enrolling mid-month, tuition for any lessons scheduled during first partial month are due upon enrollment. Automatic payment options are available for private lessons - ask for details.
- When you pay your monthly tuition, an instructor will be assigned for a specific time each week. This time is exclusively reserved for you; therefore, there are no refunds or credits for lessons missed due to student absence.
- Should you decide to discontinue your private lessons, you must notify your teacher directly as soon as possible, at least two weeks before your final lesson. Cancellations without two-week notice are subject to a fee equal to the cost of one lesson. Upon cancellation, there is no tuition refund for the lessons remaining in that month.
- In order to accommodate personal obligations, vacation schedules, student illness, etc., private students are allowed four personal days within any 12-month period. Personal days may be used at your discretion for any reason and you will not be charged for these absences. To apply a personal day to your account, please notify teacher. Your account must be current to be eligible for personal days.
