Little Music Makers offers offers frequently demo classes during the semester. Parents and children can get to know our program without any obligation.
To register for one of our classes, please use our online form (menu item "Registration"), so that we have all the necessary information available.
We will then send a written confirmation of registration and ask you to transfer the course fee. Once both has been done, your spot is firmly reserved.
Unfortunately it is not possible to transfer a course spot to another family or into another semester.
A registration can be withdrawn until 3 days before the start of the 1st lesson. We will then refund the course fee minus a handling fee of 25 Euro.
Please do not attend the course if your child is sick.
New classes start every January, April and September.
If free spots are available it is possible to join a current course after it has already started.
A registration can be withdrawn until 3 days before the start of the class.
We will then refund the course fee minus a handling fee of 25 Euro. Cancellations made less than 3 whole days before the first lesson are not eligible for a refund of the course fee.
The number of participants ranges from 6 – 12 families.
We offer courses for 1 to 4 years of age. If your child is younger than 4 months or older than 4 years please do not hesitate to contact us. Siblings can be brought along from birth on.
Comfortable clothes and slipper socks (our classrooms have a no shoes policy), lock and rain cape for your stroller (in most locations we cannot bring stroller inside)

Yes - provided the course still has spaces available.
The price for a class for one child is 175 Euros per semester. It also includes a songbook and a CD. The participation of a sibling aged 10 months or older costs 85 Euros. Therefore, the cost for a family with 2 children is 260 Euros. Siblings under the age of 10 months (age at the start of the class) can participate for free.
Our CD and songbook are not optional, rather they form the basis of our concept. Using the course material at home contributes to deepening the class experience of your child.
You are welcome to bring siblings to the class. Children younger than 10 months (at the start of the class) can participate for free. The fee for siblings 10 months or older (at the start of the class) is 85 Euros.
Your child does not necessarily have to come with a parent. Other grown-ups may come along. Additional accompanying adults such as a babysitter, aunt, uncle or grandparents may also come along every once in a while.
In this case it is not necessary to purchase the CD and songbook again. The course can be booked at the reduced price of 150 Euros for one child and 235 Euros for two children. It is, however, required that the family already participated earlier in the respective course.
No, knowledge in English is not required.
Little Music Makers has 6 different music collections that we named after colours. This means 2 consecutive years of musical education without repetition. Our collections are called: Blue, Orange, Green, Pink, Yellow and Red.
During summer holidays we do not offer any lessons. Courses take place during autumn and winter holidays. During Easter holidays we usually do not hold any lessons either.
If you would like to bring a guest child along please let us know in advance. The fee for the participation in one lesson is 10 Euro.
Our courses are all age mixed, i.e. we have different age groups in one class - from babies to children aged 4. All children benefit from mixed age classes - older children as well as younger ones. Our approach is based on scientific research from music education and early childhood development as well as well as our own teaching experience over the past 10 years. Mixed-age clases provide a rich learning environment: Babies are often fascinated by older children and imitate them. Older children enjoy helping and sharing with younger ones. Shy older children benefit from being a role model to little ones. Another advantage of mixed age groups is that the parents compare their children less with others - therefore there will be less expectations and pressure on how the children should behave in class. For families with more than one child another advantage is obvious: They can all participate together.
