Kindermusik Mixed Age

Sometimes, the best learning happens when we’re all together. Mixed age classes allow families with siblings, neighbor groups of varying age levels, and anyone who’s drawn to the time slot to attend. Educators accommodate powerful and enjoyable music and movement activities for all stages of development, so that everyone is comfortable, engaged, and learning!

 
Ms. Brooke

Ms. Brooke

Ms. Brooke is excited to start her Kindermusik career this coming semester! She is eager to provide your child with musical experiences that activate multiple senses, and to facilitate relationship building and family connections between all involved. From a young age, she has loved music and singing. She can remember belting songs from Disney movies to an imaginary crowd in her living room when she was a little girl. She took piano lessons, was a member of the marching band’s color guard, and was in choir and many musicals during her middle school and high school years. She holds a dual degree in Early Childhood Education and Special Education from Iowa State University, and has been teaching early childhood in Nevada for the last 10 years. Music had to take a backseat for a while, so it will feel wonderful to access that part of her heart again! Ms. Brooke resides in Nevada with her husband Benjamin and 4 children Kyden, Konrad, Kobie and Brynleigh (who has been LOVING her Kindermusik experience for the past 2 years). She hopes to not only see you in one of her classes, but to also be another supportive person for you in this crazy journey we call parenthood!

Studio Policy

WAIVER

I, as a parent/guardian of a minor child(ren) identified in the enrollment form, trust that Tuneful Journey does everything possible to keep us safe but am aware that participation in a physical group activity may result in accident or injury or transmission of an airborne illness (including COVID-19) and assume the risk. I release any and all rights and claims for damages against Tuneful Journey and its Staff in the event of injury or illness sustained by myself or my child(ren) during the course of my enrollment at Tuneful Journey.



ENROLLMENT

The fall and spring semesters each include 14 weeks of classes, paid in four equal installments on the first of the month (September-December for fall and January-April for spring). Piano semesters are 18 weeks and 5 payment installments each, August-December and January-May. Enrollment is not month-to-month, nor does an installment equate to the cost of a full month’s classes. If enrolling after the start of the semester, tuition will be prorated accordingly or make-up classes can be arranged. No refunds are given for missed classes, but unlimited make-up classes are available (see below for more details). Summer classes and camps are also offered, but as separate enrollments.



MAKE-UP CLASSES

No refunds will be given for missed classes; however, you are welcome to unlimited make-up classes by attending another class section throughout the week! These can be scheduled through your account at my.kindermusik.com.
