Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Materials and Supply Fee schedule?  When you register for your membership, you will pay for your first month of membership plus a $60 seasonal Materials & Studio Supply Fee. If you register after the first of the month, you will be charged prorated tuition plus the seasonal fee.

After your initial registration month, the Membership Fee will be charged on the first of each month (e.g., the November Membership Fee will be charged on November 1, the December Membership Fee will be charged on December 1, etc.).

The seasonal Materials & Studio Supply Fee is charged once per season and helps cover your Music Together® materials, collection access, studio supplies, classroom sanitizing and instrument cleaning supplies, and special touches that help keep our studio warm, clean, and magical for families.

Can I join for one song collection versus the whole school year? Yes, of course!  We require families to stay enrolled for two months.  But, if you'd only like to stay for one 'semester' like the good 'ol days, we are happy to help personalize the membership for that amount of time. Please email us at [email protected] upon registration, and we will establish the last day of your enrollment together.

Wait, what happened to registering one semester at a time? Starting in Fall 2025, all Music Together® classes at TLB are moving to membership pricing and scheduling for the school year.  A single summer session will be available during the summer months.  However, families are *still* able to cancel or freeze their membership at any time.  You do need to give us 31 days' notice. However, simply email us upon your initial registration and tell us you'd only like to stay for one song collection.  We will happily personalize your membership!

Is there a minimum number of months I need to be enrolled?
We require a minimum of two months' enrollment at the start of membership. Your child develops musically over time, so the initial two-month minimum is needed to ensure the best developmental experience for your child. If you need to cancel before the beginning of classes in September, you will be refunded, except for a $50 service fee.

Can I just join for one semester? You get to choose how long you are enrolled in classes. As long as you take classes for a minimum of two months, you can then cancel at any time. We don't officially organize our classes into "semesters", but we still follow the Music Together Song Collections schedule. 

What if I need to cancel or freeze my membership?
Contact us at least 31 days before when you need to cancel.  Following your email, a member of our team will reach out to let you know when your membership expires.

Can I switch classes once I'm enrolled?
Consistency is important for your child's learning, but we understand that schedules shift and nap times change! We will always do our best to accommodate your family's needs!

Can we join if classes have already begun?
Absolutely! If you join mid-month, we will prorate your tuition that month.  Families are welcome to join our music membership at any time throughout the year.

How will I be billed?  At registration, you will be charged an initial $60 Materials & Studio Supply Fee.

After registration, a Tenn Little Birds team member will reach out to confirm your class placement and update your enrollment with any prorated tuition for the remaining days of the month.

After your first month, billing is processed automatically on a monthly basis using the credit card saved in your account profile. Automatic payments begin once you receive enrollment confirmation for your class and will then continue on the first of each month.

It is your responsibility to keep your credit card information up to date. You may make changes by logging into your account or by contacting us and we are happy to help update it for you.

There is a $10 fee for declined credit card transactions.

If I freeze my membership for a few months, will our spot still be available when we are ready to come back to class?
We will do our best to accommodate your family, but we are unable to guarantee that your original spot will still be available.

How much does the membership cost?
The tuition varies based on how many children you are enrolling. Please click here for tuition information.

Why is the monthly tuition the same each month when some months have fewer classes than others?
With holidays, scheduled breaks, and the way the calendar naturally falls, some months do have fewer classes than others. The monthly tuition is calculated by averaging the total number of classes held throughout the entire Membership Year.

Why am I paying a $60 Materials and Supply fee four times per year in addition to my monthly tuition?

Four times each year (Fall, Winter, Spring, and Summer), we introduce a new Music Together® song collection complete with download codes, songbooks, and digital resources. The $60 Materials & Studio Supply Fee helps cover these Music Together® materials and licensing fees, along with the many supplies and behind-the-scenes touches that help keep our studio running smoothly and beautifully for families.

This fee also supports classroom sanitizing and instrument cleaning supplies, paper goods, play materials and toys, special seasonal touches, and the general upkeep that helps our space stay warm, welcoming, clean, and magical for children and caregivers.

The first $60 fee is paid with your initial membership registration. As long as you remain enrolled as a member, future seasonal Materials & Studio Supply Fees will automatically be billed to your credit card at the start of each new collection.

We are enrolled in the Babies class, what happens when my baby is nearing 9 months?
The Babies program is meant to be an introduction to Music Together, with the primary goal being to give adults the tools they need to interact with their babies in a mixed-age environment. Once you have those tools, you will want to integrate your baby into a Mixed Ages class where they can learn both from you AND by watching and imitating the older children in the room! When your baby is around 7-8 months, having gained more independence and control over their bodies, we will transition you and your baby into a Mixed Ages class. If you have any concerns or reservations about moving to the Mixed Ages class, let us know, and we're happy to discuss options with you.

You can book your family's EXTRA classes here: Bonus & Make-up Classes. Any Bonus or Make-Up class booked without an active enrollment is subject to cancellation.

What happens if class is canceled due to weather or unforeseen circumstances?

Because all Tenn Little Birds classes are held indoors, most weather will not affect our schedule. However, we always prioritize the safety and comfort of our families and teachers.

Weather-Related Cancellations
• If Metro Nashville Public Schools (MNPS) are closed or delayed, we may cancel or adjust morning classes.
• If a Tornado Warning is issued for Davidson County, classes will be canceled.
• In cases of severe weather, flooding, or power outages that impact the studio or surrounding streets, classes may be canceled for safety.
• On Tornado Watch days, we closely monitor conditions and will notify families if plans change.

Unforeseen or Facility-Related Cancellations
Occasionally, circumstances outside of our control may require us to cancel class, such as:
• Scheduled or emergency utility work (electric, water, HVAC)
• Temporary building or facility issues
• Situations where the studio space is unavailable or unsafe to use

If this happens, we will notify impacted families as soon as possible via text, email, and Instagram (@tennlittlebirds).

What happens if Tenn Little Birds cancels class?
If Tenn Little Birds cancels class for any reason, families may schedule a make-up class using the Bonus & Make-Up Scheduler through the member portal.

What if I feel it’s unsafe for my family to attend?
You know your family best. If weather, road conditions, or unexpected circumstances make attending feel unsafe or unworkable, please reach out and we will happily help you reschedule.  Safety, flexibility, and care for our community are always at the heart of what we do.
