Enrollment
MUSIC & MEMORY® Certification Training consists of two 90-minute live webinars, offered monthly, and is designed to teach organizations how to first pilot Music & Memory, then scale their program to be organization wide. Following the training, all team members will have a full year of access to unlimited training (including Tablet Training), resources, volunteer support, free music, peer discussion, and email/phone support from Music & Memory.

Renewing Membership
The first year of training and support is included in the certification fee. After that, an organization pays $200 annually to continue accessing Music & Memory services, these include:
- Unlimited staff team training
- Program resources

All of the above resources help to sustain a program in the long run. Staff come and go, but a Music & Memory program can sustain for years by continually sending new staff for certification training.

Program Equipment Costs
Equipment is not provided by Music & Memory. Equipment costs vary depending on the size of the organization and method of delivery. General recommendations are offered during certification training. As a general guideline for assembling an equipment budget, we recommend budgeting about $100 per person. This includes music players, headphones, and starter music.

During certification training, organizations are offered the opportunity to purchase additional program equipment at a discount through partnering vendors.
