MLM Program Policies

Welcome to Music for Little Mozarts at ACMS! 

We are so glad that you have chosen Music for Little Mozarts for your child at the Armstrong Community Music School!  This promises to be a wonderful, musical experience for your son or daughter and will bring your family closer to knowing the joy of music. 

We want to reiterate how important your role is as a parent with a child in MLM.  It is necessary to guide and share in the learning process at home by supervising practice and reading directions to your child.  Please discuss the pictures in the book together, read the story in the Music Lesson Book to them, and listen to the music together as a family. 

 

MLM Program Policies 

Registration:  

ACMS can reserve a space in any Music for Little Mozarts class only after payment has been received.

Registration requires a commitment to the full 18 weeks of class. Refunds will not be available once the MLM session has started.

MLM Classroom Policies 

  • It is important that each student comes to class with all their books each week. If they arrive without their materials, their learning and participation will be greatly hindered for that lesson. 
     
  • Each student will receive a detailed Assignment Page each week.  Please follow the assignment closely and complete the appropriate pages at home during music/practice time.  Many students will enjoy the workbook pages so much that they will want to work beyond the assigned material.  However, it is best to wait until the indicated pages in the Lesson Book have been covered before the corresponding material in the workbook is studied. 
     
  • Find a time and quiet place that works best, and practice together regularly (at least 5 days a week). 
     
  • Please do not bring your child to class if they have a contagious illness and/or did not attend school because of illness.  All weekly assignments may be found online at:  http://www.acmsaustin.org/mlm-calendar.html
