A SERIES OF FREE DEMO CLASSES AT “THE MUSCIC CLASS”!
The Music Class will be offering several days of free demonstration classes the last week of February at their Intown, Sandy Springs and Alpharetta locations. Providing there are no more snow days, the schedule of free classes will be:

Intown, Sandy Springs and Alpharetta locations only: Feb 23, 24 and 25.
All classes will be at 10:00 am.
They had originally scheduled for Feb 27, but had to cancel and use that day as a snow makeup for our regular classes

Come to one or come to all! With each repetition your child will become more comfortable and have more fun. No need to RSVP, but get there early as we’ll be letting people in first come, first served as space allows.

This offer is for new families only. If you have already attended class with us before, please refrain from attending so that we have enough room to accommodate new families.
