After much consideration of our state’s new safety guidelines and what seems sensible for our musical play space, we are going to start offering a new kind of Semi-Open Play next week! What does that mean exactly? Here are the specifics, (which are subject to change):
2-hour play sessions, 2 per week in addition to our already popular “Quarenteam” Plays
Limited access for no more than 20 people by appointment only
Pre-registration online prior to coming
$8 per person (adults and children 12 months and older)
Under 1-year-olds are $4 but FREE when accompanying an older sibling
Full cleaning after each play session, along with periodic cleanings during
UVC Air purifiers will be operating in each karaoke room
Upon entering the building, all family members must wear masks, answer screening questions, have their temperatures checked, and sanitize their hands
No drinking fountain access – B.Y.O.B.!
At least one Notasioneer will be in the play space to remind little Notemakers of these additional rules to minimize the risk of potential spread: (and we might need some help from their grown-ups to enforce them!)
All adults and kids ages 2 and older must wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth while inside the building. No exceptions. Neck gaiters, masks with valves or bandanas are not acceptable. We will have disposable masks for those that need them.
Masks may be removed temporarily only when eating or drinking in the Cafe area at least 6 feet from others.
Everyone must try and remain 3 to 6 feet apart from one another.
Bounce houses will be limited to a maximum of 4 kids at a time
The guitar slide will be limited to 2 kids at the top at one time
Only 1 family at a time in a karaoke room
Anyone who violates these rules repeatedly will be asked to take a break outside the play space, or asked to leave

Announcing our fall session of group classes with new additions for older children! They will all be 8-week sessions and start Monday, August 24th, and run through the week of October 12th. In the interest of minimizing the spread of Covid-19, they will once again be held online.
Please Note: Since these classes are virtual, some will be hosted from the Durham location and some from the Cary location. If you are enrolling in a class at a location you have not visited, you will need to create a new account in order to enroll.
NOTES-FOR-TOTS (TODDLERS)
$96 for the 8-week session to virtually travel to musical destinations.
Notasium is a great place to throw a party! Right now, you can reserve 2 hours in our play-space and cafe for just $100!
It begins with you arriving a few minutes before your scheduled time to answer some simple screening questions and to have your temperature taken. Everyone will have to have signed our play space and COVID agreements online and all participants except children under 2 will be required to wear a mask before entering.
You will have the run of the play space all to yourselves and the cafe to set up refreshments and cake for whenever you want to enjoy it.
For an additional $50, you and your guests can enjoy a 25-minute interactive musical activity after your hour in the play-space. This will be led by one of our masked Notasioneers and will get the kids (and adults) singing and dancing along to fun musical favorites.
Then, you’ll still have 30 minutes to enjoy your refreshments and cake in the cafe!
Due to the nature of our camps and facilities, we have decided to cancel our traditional camps for the remainder of the summer. However, we do have another option for you!
Introducing the build-your-own “Quaranteam” camp! If you can get together with friends that you know and feel comfortable interacting with, and the kids in your party total 5 or more, we can customize a week-long, half-day camp exclusively for your Quaranteam at $185 per child.
How it works:
Choose one of the following options:
Piano Camp
Ukulele Camp
Guitar Camp
Songwriting Camp (Ages 8 and up)
Music and Play Camp (variety of instruments)
Choose your 3-hour window
9 am – 12 pm
1 pm – 4 pm
Call or email us to schedule!
Things to know:
Notasium staff will spend approximately 30-minutes cleaning the play space and bathrooms after each camp session using EPA/CDC approved products known to kill Covid-19.
In Cary, only one bounce house will be open so we can clean everything within 30-minutes.
Adults will be asked to wear a mask while interacting with staff or other customers.
Notasium staff will be wearing masks at all times and will have undergone the same general health questions and temperature screening prior to opening.
There may be one other family in the building, but they will not be in the same room/area as the camp kids.
You will need to read and sign the COVID waiver available online in order for your child to participate
If you have any additional questions or are ready to book, just give us a call at 919-230-9321 or email us here.
We have given a great deal of thought as to how and when we could start to re-open the play space in a safe way for our staff, our customers, and our community. We have decided to begin opening on a limited basis, starting with what we call Quaranteam Play – 1 exclusive hour of play in our play space for you and 1-2 families of your choosing for $60.
Members of the same household that have been staying away from everyone but each other
Members of 2 or more different households that have been staying away from everyone else except each other to the extent that they feel comfortable going to each other’s houses and letting their kids play together
How it works:
Read and sign the COVID waiver online
Register & pay online to reserve your 1-hour slot at least 12 hours ahead of time
Share the hour with 1-2 other families that you feel safe with as long as the group is a total of 9 people or less with at least 1 adult that can supervise the whole group.
Come to Notasium up to 5-minutes before your appointment time so that you can do the following BEFORE playing:
Have all adults in the party put on a mask or face covering before entering
Answer a few screening questions as suggested by the CDC
Have your temperature taken by our staff with a contactless digital infrared thermometer
Play for one hour – masks not required unless interacting within 6 feet of a Notasium staff member
