FALL CLASSES 2025
BRAND NEW FIRST YEARS: Hooray! I'm so excited for you to start your Let's Play Music journey! At this point, I'm going to open two classes. One on Tuesdays from 11-11:45 and one on Tuesdays from 12:30-1:15. (I may also add another class on Wednesday morning, depending on input from families, so let me know if that would help you.) During first year, parents come to every other class, and younger siblings are not invited.
FIRST YEARS GOING TO SECOND YEAR: I am planning on two 2nd year classes. One will be on Wednesdays from 2-2:50, and the other on Wednesdays from 4:10-5:00. Depending on a few different things (including the decision of transfer students I've been in contact with), I may add a third class from 3-3:50. Parents come to class only once a month (rather than every other week like in 1st Year), and siblings are still not invited to attend classes.
SECOND YEARS GOING TO THIRD YEAR: I am planning on two 3rd year classes. At this point, I have them scheduled on Tuesdays, one from 3:00-4:00, and the other on Tuesdays from 4:15-5:15. Based on input from the survey, I think (hope!) that these times will work for two balanced classes. If not, I will plan on shifting the start time of both classes 15-30 minutes later. I know some of you requested an early class, so that's why I'm starting with earlier times. Parents come to class only once a month like in 2nd year, and siblings are still not invited to attend classes.
ALL STUDENTS: I am hoping that your family can fit somewhere into these options. If not, please let me know. I can't fit everyone's preferences and schedule into my calendar, and some may have to look at transferring to other teachers, but I have learned that more communication is better than less during this process. I may ask you sometime between registration and classes starting if you are able to switch do a different time option. If I do, know that I'm just gathering information to try to accomodate the most students. If a change would work for you, great. If not, don't feel bad about that. Scheduling is pretty tricky, and I chant my "It will all work out" mantra regularly during this time of year! Classes will start the week of August 19/20.
STEP ONE: REGISTRATION FEE
The registration fee is $25 per student and covers my sundry office fees like copies, T-shirts, beads, stickers, pins, balloons, corporate student support fees, random supplies, end-of-year recital stuff, etc.
Because I really really want to get people registered and be able to move my focus back to teaching, I am going to waive this registration fee for any new or returning student who registers in the month of March. If it's still March, then go on to step 2!
STEP TWO: ENROLL AND ORDER MATERIALS
2. Select your classtime and enter my enrollment ID: 95761
3. Log in using your LetsPlayMusic account info.
4. When ordering materials, check which BUNDLE you'd like from the drop down menu. If this is your first child going through Let's Play Music, you'll need the FULL SET. If you have had older kids go through the program, you already have access to the recorded music on the app, so choose the SIBLING SET. Everything you need is included in the BUNDLES, so don't select any extras unless you want multiple of the same item.
For 2nd and 3rd Years, the only difference between the full set and the sibling set is access to the audio. The sibling bundles include both the 2nd year bubble hands and the 3rd year flashcards for your younger students, so you don't need to order those unless you want multiple.
For 1st Year, the full set contains everything (booklets, tote bag, audio access, bells, and bug cards), and the sibling bundle includes only the booklets and the tote bag. The sibling set does NOT include audio access, but if you are looking at the sibling set option, you still have access from your earlier students. The sibling set does not include the bells or the bug flashcards. If you don't have your original student's bells or bug flashcards, order an additional set of these.
LET ME KNOW
If you have any questions or issues with the registration site, let me know! From other teachers' reports, it seems to be working very smoothly this year. I hope that's your experience!
TUITION RATES
*Tuition for all students will be $70/month for 8 months, or $280/semester for 2 semesters each year. This tuition level will remain in place for the three years of your student's Let's Play Music journey.
*The first tuition payment will be due the first week of class on August 19.
