When you enroll, your child will be registered for one weekly class. You can add more weekly classes for an extra fee. Drop-in classes beyond your weekly class can be booked using the All-Access Booking Link.

Please only sign up for classes that match your child’s age and skill level. Levels 2-6 classes are for students placed at those levels. If your child books a drop-in class for an instrument they don’t have a subscription for, they should choose a Level 1 class. Students will only receive materials, progress through levels, and perform on instruments they have an active subscription for.

If you can’t attend a class, please cancel it in your account to free up the spot for others.

Absolutely! The All-Access Pass is designed for exploration. Your child can focus on their main instrument while having the freedom to try others through drop-in classes.

If your child needs to miss a class, simply cancel it in your Opus1.io account. You can then use the booking link to schedule a makeup class for the same instrument and level at a time that works best for you.

We focus on musical, social, and overall skill development. Students and teachers use a progress chart to mark milestones in areas like rhythm, melody, harmony, songwriting, teamwork, and creative expression.
