Tuition
Music Together Parent/Child Classes

Tuition During the School Year: We have three ten-week sessions during the school year. Tuition for each of these ten-week sessions is $168 for the first registered child in a family. Tuition for additional siblings is discounted to $96 each per session.

Infant siblings under 8 months on the first day of a session, born on or after May 8, 2011 for the Winter 2012 session, attend at no cost as "auditors" at all locations, space permitting. We allow up to two infant auditors in each class; to qualify for this status, an infant must be a sibling of a registered child. Because we need to keep track of the number of infant auditors in a class, please be sure to include your infant’s name and birth date on the registration form.

All infants are welcomed with open arms because we know that they learn a tremendous amount from class, even when they are only two or three months old. Studies show that infants this young can still discern minute differences in melody! Infants that do not have an older sibling registered pay full tuition.

Summer Tuition: For our eight-week summer session, tuition for the first registered child is $140. Tuition for additional siblings is $74 each. Infant siblings under 8 months on the first day of a session attend at no cost as "auditors," space permitting.

Fees: There is a one-time-only registration fee of $15 for families new to Music Together in the Valley, Inc. This fee is waived in our Parks & Recreation locations in Apple Valley, Woodbury, Shoreview and Blaine.

Payment plans are available. You’re welcome to pay your tuition in two installments, either by check or by credit card. Half of your tuition will be due upon registration, to hold your place in class. The remaining half will be due by the end of the first half of the session. We require either a postdated check or a credit/debit card number that we can use to pay the balance due at the halfway point of the session. Payment plans are not available for classes in Apple Valley and Woodbury where they are offered through the respective Parks and Recreation Depts.

Tuition refunds will be given only if requested prior to the first day of the session in which you are enrolled. Credit toward future sessions may be issued in exceptional circumstances. For classes in Apple Valley and Woodbury, the respective Parks and Recreation refund policies apply.

Music Together Big Kids

With the 60-minute classes, children attending Big Kids classes will have 2.5 more hours of classroom time than we have in our 45-minute parent/child classes and the tuition has been adjusted accordingly. The cost for a ten-week session for one child is $210 and includes the take home materials (a songbook, 2 CDs, solfege cards and HomePlay activities). Siblings can attend together as long as both are in the kindergartener through 7 year-old age range. The cost for a second child in a family to attend is $180.  We do not offer a discount for a child in Big Kids who has a sibling in parent/child classes. Sorry!

Music Together Guitar for Grownups

This class meets weekly for one hour for eight weeks and the cost is $168 which includes the take-home materials that supplement the CDs and songbook that your child has from the parent/child or Big Kids classes.
