Class Materials by Level

We are excited to kick off our outdoor classes safely and enjoyably this spring! Please reference your class level below to learn what instruments and materials you will need for each class.

If you purchased an instrument backpack, we will have it for you on the first day of class. The backpack includes: 2 shaker eggs, 2 rhythm sticks, 2 sand blocks, 2 jingle bells, 2 scarves, and 1 triangle. 

Please remember that we are relying on caregivers to keep their little ones within their designated seating area throughout class. For safety reasons, we do need to be strict about this policy, so thank you for your cooperation. Should your toddler need to toddle during class, please exit the music class area and use the grassy areas of the campus to do so. Thank you!

We are requiring masks for adults and children over two years upon entrance and exit. Once seated in your designated area, each family will be 8′ away from each other and from the teacher. Parents and children are welcome to remove their masks at this time.
