What happens when my child takes music classes before 6 years of age?

“The corpus callosum, the organ that carries communication between the two hemispheres of the brain (right brain/left brain) has been shown to be 10 to 15 percent larger in musicians who began music study before the age of six than in nonmusicians or even musicians who started music later in childhood. . . The planum temporale, the area of the brain that processes sound has been found to be larger in the left hemisphere of musicians than in nonmusicians.” - G. Schlaug, L. Jancke, Y. Huang and H. Steinmetz, “In Vivo Evidence of Structural Brain Asymmetry in Musicians,” Science, 267 (January-March 1995): 699-701

Discussions of this topic and further evidence are found in “Raising Musical Kids A Guide for Parents: by Robert A Cutietta. You can also google the title of the article above for more information (“In Vivo Evidence . . . “)

Refund Policy: The 10-class fee is based on a $50 non-refundable (no exceptions) administrative fee. Classes are then refunded
according to the remaining amount. Refund requests received two weeks prior to the beginning of the series or after will only be refunded if someone else takes your child’s space in the class. There are no refunds after the first class (no exceptions). Partial credit can be given toward an upcoming class if illness prohibits the child from attending more than half the classes in the series. Refunds require a minimum of two weeks to process. ** PARKING: To keep a “low impact” on the neighborhood, please park on Marin Avenue or at the corner of Talbot & Dartmouth where a public toddler park is located.Drop ins: One free preview per family. The drop in charge is $25, and only by special arrangements with the teacher. This includes siblings or friends who are not enrolled in a Jingle Jamboree Music class. Enrolled sibling may attend classes at any time for free.Liability: The children are under the supervision of their parent or caregiver at all times during the class, thus it is the parent/caregiver's sole responsibility should any injury occur.

Make Up Classes: If your child is ill and misses class, please make up that class during the enrolled session. You may drop in without an appointment on any comparable class. The “Make Up” policy is for illnesses. Families should consider missed classes during family vacations as part of the vacation cost to the family or changes to the social calendars as a choice unless special arrangements are made with Jingle Jamboree Music.
