Policies and Locations
For your convenience Early Childhood Music classes are offered in Minneapolis, Apple Valley and White Bear Lake. Classes are held at MacPhail Center unless otherwise noted.

Please double check both time and location when you are registering.

• MacPhail: 501 South 2nd Street, Minneapolis
• MacPhail White Bear Lake: Birch Lake Elementary, 1616 Birch Lake Avenue, White Bear Lake
• MacPhail Apple Valley: Paideia Academy, 7200 147th Street West, Apple Valley

Make-Up Classes
Please notify MacPhail in advance of any absence by calling the Student Service Center at 612.321.0100. Prior notification of absences does not exempt students from payment. Students are charged for all classes during the semester, including those missed. Makeup classes are available for most classes. Please limit the number of makeup requests to one-fourth of the total semester classes to maintain continuity for your child and others in the class. Classes must be made up during the semester in which you are registered.

Multiple Siblings in One Class
If you are registering more than one child in the same adult-child class session we encourage you to keep a ratio of one adult per child. One-on-one interaction in the class makes the experience more rewarding for both the adults and children involved. The only exception is the Family Music Class.

Sibling Policy
Only registered students are allowed in Early Childhood Music classes. Please make other arrangements for siblings. Adult visitors are welcome any time!

Sibling Discount Policy
When you register one child for Early Childhood Music classes at MacPhail for full tuition, each additional child in your immediate family will receive a 10% discount for Early Childhood Music classes for the same semester. To get this discount, you must register all children by August 25, 2008. This discount does not apply to the Family Music Class.

Students with Special Needs
All of MacPhail’s Early Childhood Music programs are accessible to children with special needs through adapted instruction, individually or in small groups. We also offer a class for young students with special needs.

Waiting Lists
Students may request to be placed on a waiting list for a full class if complete registration and payment information is received, (payments will not be processed unless the student is placed in a class). You will be contacted by phone only if a space becomes available.
