Sing, play, move, and bond with your Little One

– from baby to preschool age!

We will have fun tickling our senses while playing with (learning!) music, language, motor, social, and pre-academic skills.

Join us for 45 minutes of music and play while we explore songs, instruments, games, rhythms, chants, pitch, movement, sign language, and a variety of musical styles. Lisa is a board-certified music therapist with years of experience. ALL children are welcome!

How it Works

Music on the Move classes run on a weekly basis. You do not need to commit to a “semester” of any kind. Most people attend class weekly to meet with music friends and provide the little ones with plenty of repetition and learning. However, you can easily sign up for a single class.

To start, just create an account and then check your email/spam for the password. Come back here to log in to the parent portal and pick your class from the calendar. You can sign up for a single class or multiple classes. You can even sign up for the whole series (every Wednesday). Space is limited, and your registration is holds your seat. If you need to cancel, please log in to parent portal or contact Lisa directly to avoid being charged.

Family Music Class Policies

Media Release

Class participants agree to be photographed or recorded during Music on the Move classes. Footage will become the property of Music on the Move and may be used for advertising and/or educational purposes. Consent can be withdrawn at any time in writing.

Personal Photos

Participating families may take photos/videos as long as they are not disruptive and students remain supervised. We ask that families be mindful of protecting the privacy of other students that appear in their photos. However, it is not the responsibility of Harmony School and/or Music on the Move to control use of this footage.
Please tag us on social media #musiconthemovekids with your cute photos of MotM class! Thanks for sharing!  

Assumption of Risk and Waiver of Liability:

All children under age 9 and younger must be supervised by a parent. Participation in this program requires parent/adult alertness to the safety of their children. Families release Music on the Move, Harmony School, and/or Unity Center from such responsibility.

Registration

Space is limited in the classroom, and we want everyone to be comfortable! Registration is Required (above). Please feel free to Facebook message, or call/text Lisa at (319) 849-8288 and I’ll be happy to sign you up. 

Payments

MOTM accepts payment by Venmo, PayPal, cash, check, or invoice (credit card). $30 Fee will apply for checks returned due to insufficient funds. 

Illness Policy

We all want to keep our children healthy! Please keep your child home if he or she has experienced any of the following symptoms within the last 24 hours: vomiting, diarrhea, fever, contagious rashes, or contagious eye infections. We do understand that some symptoms such as residual coughs, runny noses, and non-contagious rashes are a regular part of life with children. Please use your best judgment. If your child is visibly ill, chances are he or she is not feeling well enough to participate in a highly stimulating activity such as music.

Weather Cancellations

If weather is questionable, please check your email, Facebook, or Instagram for updates.  If you have signed up for a class that is canceled, you will receive an email. We will generally follow the Cedar Rapids School District. If classes are delayed or canceled there will likely be no music class.

Food and Drink

While food and drink are allowed in our space, we ask that you not bring them to class. They can be hugely distracting to participating children and life-threatening to children with allergies. Caregivers who need to breastfeed or bottle-feed their children during class are welcome to do so. In fact, many families choose to use lullaby time for this purpose.

Coming Late

If you are running late, please don’t worry. We’ve all been there! Whether you make it in time for the “Hello Song” or just in time for “Goodbye”, we would love to see you. Do keep in mind that, for some children, the “Hello Song” is an important ritual and missing it can be upsetting. If you think you might miss it, you may consider singing it in the car!

No-Shows are Billable

If you need to cancel your class registration, please cancel as soon as you can so that others can take your spot at class. (Cancel via portal, or contact Lisa.) We understand that illness happens at the last minute – just let us know! If you fail to cancel, you may be charged for the class.  

Remember to Register for Class!
