  • Currently, our classes are designed for children aged 1 to 5 years with separate classes for ages 1 - 2 years, 3 - 5 years, and a mixed 1 - 5 years.

    We are working on expanding our offerings to include infant classes soon—stay tuned!

  • We are located at Sonoma Avenue Church of Christ (2200 Sonoma Ave, Santa Rosa). Our classroom is on the second floor. Please note that there is no elevator access to this space, and strollers must be parked in the designated ground-floor "Stroller Zone."

  • No. Bright Notes Kids follows a parent-and-child model. A parent or guardian must remain in the room and be actively engaged for the entire 45-minute session. It’s a wonderful way to bond and model musical joy for your little one!

  • Our standard semesters average $20 per class. A typical 8-week semester is $160. Our Fall "Concert Track" includes an additional one-time family production fee to cover performance materials, and is available for the 3 - 5 year old classes.

  • Yes! We love having the whole family make music. We offer a $50 discount for siblings over age 1. Siblings under 12 months may attend for free when accompanying a registered older sibling.

  • Absolutely. We want our classes to be accessible to everyone. You can choose to pay in installments via Afterpay at checkout, or contact us directly to discuss a deposit-based plan.

  • If a semester session is not fully enrolled, we do offer drop-in spots for a slightly higher per-class rate. Drop-in availability is usually posted one week before the semester begins.

  • Do-Re-Mi & You: Focuses on music enrichment through singing, movement, and rhythmic exploration.

    Grace Notes: Uses the same high-quality musical base curriculum but supplements with Christian songs and faith-based resources.

  • We have built two "Buffer Weeks" into the end of every semester schedule. If the instructor needs to cancel due to illness, we will use those extra weeks to ensure you get your full 8 or 10 sessions!

  • We provide a variety of age-appropriate instruments, including rhythm sticks, shaker eggs, drums, colorful scarves, and more. All instruments are thoroughly sanitized between every class.

  • To keep our little musicians healthy, we ask that you and your child be fever-free and symptom-free for at least 24 hours before attending class.

  • It is perfectly normal for toddlers to explore with their mouths! We keep a dedicated "Mouth Bucket" in the classroom. If an instrument is mouthed, simply drop it in the bucket so it can be deep-cleaned before the next use.
