Winter Registration Opens September 28th!!!

We are so excited to feature the Bear Collection this WINTER! Sesson starts the week of November 13th at both our Metairie & Uptown locations, please click on the best location for you to see this winter's schedule for class days and times.
We are also introducing two new classes options:
  1. The first is an infant only class(for our non-walking friends), the name says it all, but we will still have our mixed age classes that will have both our youngest to oldest little friends, the infants only class does tailor our program more towards this group, but families with infants are not limited to registering for just this class.
  2. We are also offering several interest classes at both locations. These interest classes allow families to partially register for a class and then TMC NOLA can gauge the response to see if there are enough families for us to go ahead and activate that class for the upcoming session.

 

Exciting NEWS! The Music Class New Orleans will be opening up a location on the Northshore this Winter! More info to coming soon!
