FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

At Jim Jam Studios our year runs from February to December, 39 weeks of classes with breaks over the school holidays.  To get the most from our programs and guarantee their place is held in a class we recommend staying enrolled throughout the year. This gives children a chance to build relationships with fellow students, learn and build on musical concepts and really immerse themselves into the program, grow and learn. 

Age recommendations for each level class are made to ensure that children are grouped in a developmentally appropriate way. Your child needs to be at least the minimum age for the chosen class by the start of a semester. If you are concerned at all, this can be discussed with the teacher to see if your child would be better suited to a different age group.

Anytime of the year! 

We are always happy to welcome new students to the Jim Jam Studios family. Once enrolled, we’ll keep you enrolled until you tell us you need to pause or withdraw. No need to constantly fill our enrolment forms. We want to keep things easy and convenient for you.

To enrol, simply fill in our online registration form on this website.

It’s super easy!

We have a simple on-going enrolment system with a monthly payment.

It's all inclusive of classes, digital materials and access to the Kindermusik app or Spotify playlists.

Once you have enrolled into a class via our online registration form we will email you with the information you need and charge dates. Your first payment will include the Yearly Registration Fee and the first months fees. These are processed on the 1st of each month. If you start class mid-term we will pro-rata the first payment.

All students attending Kindermusik class get access to music downloads and supporting materials via the Kindermusik App. These ‘materials’ become part of your child’s life and they learn the songs we sing and dance to in class, enjoy reading their story books and craft videos. Children who frequently reinforce and enjoy activities in their home environment will feel more secure in class and will participate more.

Yes, the price for the 1st child is the regular fee and there is a 10% discount for subsequent children. This discount will be automatically applied at the time of enrolment. If you have a baby under 12 months old you need to bring with their older sibling, there is no charge for the baby until they are over 12 months old.

Stuff happens doesn’t it? We get it, someone might be sick, or work calls you in for an extra day or you have a holiday planned.

We offer a maximum of 2 makeup classes per term. You do need to register your absence from class in our Parent Portal and then you can schedule a Makeup class.

If the class is cancelled due to teacher illness or other circumstances it will either rescheduled for another time or another teacher will stand in and run the class. A credit/refund is at the discretion of Management.

That’s the great thing about Kindermusik. It’s not performance based, so there is no pressure and all children are encouraged to participate in their own way. Children are all different little beings and our classes cater for all energy levels, moods and personalities. Some children like to sit back and observe what’s going on around them and that’s how they learn, others ‘dig in’ and want to experience everything! Children who are shy often find it’s a great environment to build their social skills by doing circle dances, interacting during instrument exploration time with other children and on the flipside a very busy child can benefit from rocking time, learning to relax and just ‘be’.

If you are enrolling your child in our 'Sing Dance Play' program our teachers always strive to help your child find their voice at their own pace. Usually as children get comfortable with their class they will feel more confident. We also have lots of fun drama games and activities that help children with confidence.

We do have some multi-age classes where younger siblings can join in (usually our Kindermusik Level 3). The class content will be the same as in our other classes however there will be age appropriate instruments and the teacher will give guidance as to how to adapt different activities to the younger child. If your child is attending Level 4 Kindermusik, younger siblings can join in the last 10 minutes with parents/caregivers. Babies under 12 months are free to attend any classes with older siblings.

At Jim Jam Music, we offer three (3) week paid introductory pass for our Kindermusik program that allows you to "try before you buy". Many children take a while to settle in to a program, get used to our structure and routines. Three consecutive lessons will allow you and your child to get a taste for Jim Jam Music without having to enrol for the term. For our 'Sing Dance Play', 'Fundrum' or private lessons you can book in for a single trial class or lesson.
