7 notes Studio Policy and Guidelines (updated July 2018)
charily Welcome
Thank you for choosing to enrol your child with 7 notes Studio.
Attending Kindermusik classes with our children many years ago, we have seen first-hand the value and long-lasting benefits a quality early childhood music education can contribute to a child’s whole development, helping them to be school ready and enhancing their learning capabilities.
We look forward collaborating with you, as we help nurture your child’s love of music and guide them through the beginnings of a lifetime of musical wonder and possibilities.
For a happy, safe and healthy classroom, here are some guidelines that we follow:
- It is best to arrive a few minutes early for each class, so your child has the opportunity to settle down, perhaps have a drink or snack, or use the bathroom. There are always instruments or books left out for your child to play with before lesson starts.
- For hygiene and food allergy reasons, we ask that your child do not consume food during class. If possible, please feed them just before the class starts, or any time straight after.
- Our classroom floor is always kept clean, so for you and your child’s safety and comfort, “Shoes Off” is best. It enables children to feel the music beat easier through bare or socked feet. However, we fully understand if your child insists on keeping their shoes on!
- We encourage children to stay home if they are unwell – we will keep you in touch with our latest activities through emails or phone calls. For Kindermusik, please access your current and past Units through your @Home materials, at my.kindermusik.com.
- Absences: there is no refund or credit due if your child is unable to attend. The running costs of the program (rent, insurance, licences, class materials, fees) remain the same regardless of the number of children in attendance. A make-up class may be scheduled during school holidays at the Studio’s discretion. If you think you will be absent for a while, please contact us.
- On certain occasions where you may need to bring a sibling along who is not currently enrolled in your child’s class, kindly please let us know – we understand and will always endeavour to accommodate you in these instances.
- We love it when you bring friends who are interested in joining our program. Please contact us prior to class so we may prepare for their arrival. Caregivers and grandparents are always welcome to attend anytime!
- In case of a Teacher’s absence due to illness, we will make up the class at a later date or if that is not possible, we will arrange a refund or credit towards the following Term’s tuition fees.

At Home Activities
Kindermusik
To get the most out of your class, please feel free to explore and familiarise yourself with the @Home Materials and downloadable music which comes with every enrolment. Every week in class, we will discuss ideas and share some tips you may have picked up while using your @Home materials from home. We always welcome and take note of your valuable comments and suggestions.
Keyboard
Please make use of your child’s keyboard book, CD and Flash Cards at home. You will receive weekly updates and email suggestions to help enhance and ease your child’s home practice and prepare them for the following week’s class.
Piano Private
You are able to sit in or watch your child’s lesson at any time. Homework practice is set every week. There are two scheduled recitals (mid-year and end-of-year), wherein we strongly encourage every child to perform at whatever level they feel comfortable. It is important that they become confident players in front of an audience.
We will constantly update you on your child’s progress in class, so we can both decide when it is time for your child to have the opportunity to move on to the next level in our Kindermusik, Keyboard or Piano curriculum.
If circumstances arise which require you to withdraw from our class, we kindly request you give us 2 weeks prior notice. Your Tuition Fees will be charged up to and including this 2-week period.
We are confident you and your child will have an enjoyable musical journey with us. However, if you are not satisfied with your child’s experience after attending at least 5 consecutive classes with us, listening to your Home CD and accessing your on–line Kindermusik Materials, we will refund your Tuition fees minus the cost of the Home materials, which are yours to keep and enjoy.
