Join Tam Tam’s outdoor Music Together classes for a fun-filled 45-minute experience each week in the parks of Fort Greene and Bed-Stuy! Our classes are designed for 4-12 families and feature singing, dancing, instrument shaking, and lots of smiles.
What Families Are Saying About Our Outdoor Classes 😍
Finding Our Music Class 🌳🎶
After signing up, check your inbox (or spam folder) for a confirmation email from Tam Tam. This email will include a Google class location pin and the teacher’s phone number—just in case you need help finding us. Don’t forget to share this info with your caregiver!
In Case of Bad Weather ☔❄️🌬️
We keep an eye on the weather, and if it’s raining, the ground is frozen, the wind is over 20 MPH, or the temperature drops below 35°F, we’ll move the class to Zoom. Families who cannot deal with Zoom are welcome to schedule a makeup in another outdoor or indoor class. Just make sure to complete all makeups before the end of the semester. Note that we can’t offer refunds or credits for missed classes. Feel free to reach out to Tam Tam’s director if you have any questions or concerns.
Keeping Everyone Healthy 🤧
Please stay home if you or your child are feeling unwell (with symptoms like fever, cough, stomachache, etc.). We offer unlimited makeups in classes that are not full. If you or anyone in your family tests positive for COVID-19 after attending our class, please let us know right away by text or email.
Instruments and Facilities 🥁🧺
Families new to Tam Tam will get a music bag with a songbook, music download code, and starter instruments. Feel free to bring extra instruments like scarves, wooden spoons, tambourines, or drums if your child enjoys them. Don’t forget to bring a blanket and your music bag to each class.
There are no bathrooms available for outdoor music classes. Hand sanitizer and sanitizing wipes will be provided by the teacher for your convenience.
Keeping the Musical Immersion Going for Your Child 🎤
Please turn off your cell phone during class to help create a focused, musical environment. Sing, dance, and show your child how much fun music can be! 🕺🏾💃🏾
No pets, please: babies may pull or pinch on a dog that comes close to them.
Considering Your Comfort 🌟😌
Outdoor classes are in a public space and can involve weather changes, ground conditions, bugs, noise, dust, and other surprises. If this sounds like a bit much, you might want to explore our indoor class options instead. We want to make sure you and your child have the best experience possible!
