FAQ about our studio
Why are you moving?
Evola Music of Canton has been our host since 1996. In that time, they have been extremely supportive of our programs, helping us become a Kindermusik Top Program. The Evola family has decided to revise their business model and will no longer offer lessons or classes. We are super excited to move to Plymouth PARC, an amazing complex for arts and recreation organizations. This is an incredible opportunity to grow and expand our program and offering, not to mention working with some awesome neighbors.
What are your Health Policies?
We are committed to a classroom that is clean and healthy for your family. Hand sanitizer, tissues, and anti-bacterial wipes are always available. Areas for changing diapers are located in the restroom.
