How long are the classes? Our weekly classes are 45 minutes in length. How many classes are in each session? Our Fall, Winter, and Spring sessions are 10 weeks in length. Summer session is 8 weeks. What is the Tuition? Tuition varies with each location. Please see our enrollment page for specifics. How many children are in each class? We allow a maximum of 10 children in each class. Is parental/caregiver attendance optional? Yes, you are welcome to attend class with your child or to drop her/him off. As a parent/caregiver, may I bring along younger siblings who are not Kids Sing students? No unregistered children may be in class, with the exception of infants who aren’t yet on the move. How old does my child need to be to enter the program (Kids Sing I)? Children must by 3 1/2 years by the start date of the session. How do I know which level of Kids Sing to enroll my child in? Kids Sing II children are between the ages of four and six. Kids Sing III and IV children are admitted by permission of instructor; these levels are appropriate for children ages five to eight. Does my child need to be able to sit for the entire class? The structure of the class keeps most children engaged because it incorporates 10 to 12 activities including dance pieces. When a child cannot stay reasonably focused, we will suggest s/he complete the current session and then wait to enroll again until developmental readiness is apparent. What do you do in the classes? Children participate in 10-12 activities such as solo- and group-singing, movement, dance, improvisation, circle/singing games, and instrument play. All activities are geared towards building a love of music, and they also teach basic music concepts. What materials are provided for Kids Sing families? We believe that learning continues in between classes. For this reason, our take-home CD and songbook mirror the in-class curriculum. How may I preview a class with my child? You may come to a class currently offered, or alternately, attend a “Demo Class” which takes place in between sessions. Please contact director Mona Dena to schedule a preview: 650-365-5355. |
