Expectations
You are allowed 1 makeup class/session. Please email anamaria@mindfulmusicians.org to schedule your makeup.
Upon arrival
- Please remove footwear and stow personal belongings in the designated area.
- This is a floor seated class, but please communicate your needs should you need a chair.
- The more you engage in the class, the more your child will get out of the class.
- This is an opportunity to be fully present to let yourself play with your child, forget about stress, and engage in the playfulness of the experience.
- Turn cell phones to silent mode, or better yet, leave them with your shoes!
Policies
- No food or drink in the studio space. If you have water and need a drink, please excuse yourself to your cubby to refresh.
- Let’s be present, so no photography of any kind while the class is in session.
Bridging To Home
- In an effort to solidify these concepts that promote positive brain health, please sing at home often!
- Use the songs/chants/recordings/games from our classes and incorporate them at home.
- If you can think of your child as a sponge, often times they are busy soaking up the information within the experience.
- With some encouragement, you may start to see the squeezing out of the sponge at home, where they are more comfortable.
Commonly Asked Questions
Is my child too young?
Did you know that kids begin hearing in utero? At 4 months gestation, they have the capability to gain benefit from rhythm. After birth, they mature with rhythm alongside their development. This translates into nonmusical tasks such as speech sequencing, walking, coordination, and even reading. The benefits of music have been proven effective even in NICU babies, so no! Your child is not too young to join!
Do I have to be a musician?
Nope. Music making is for every single person. You need not have any musical background to gain full value out of these courses.
Can my child do this without me?
Only if you’re sending them with a different caregiver over the age of 18. Each child under the age of 7 must be accompanied by an adult. The caregivers get the responsibility of redirecting any behaviors during class, while the teacher has the responsibility of maintaining the flow.
As a parent, I can’t emphasize enough how transformative the Mindful Musicians program has been for my children and our family. It goes beyond teaching notes and rhythms; it instills essential socio-emotional skills that support their development and resilience.
