1. How do I start the registration process?
To begin the registration process, please fill out the pre-registration form here.

The registration fees are the following:
-Single student: $35.00
-Families with 2 students: $50.00

3. Where can I find information about tuition costs?
Information about tuition costs can be found here.
You may also use the tuition calculator here to estimate your tuition costs.
4. Are there any age requirements to take instrument or voice lessons?
Yes, you can find this information here
5. What is the duration and cost of each lesson?
Each lesson is priced at $30 and has a duration of 30 minutes. Most students opt for one lesson per week, but there are also 1-hour lessons available. Additionally, students have the flexibility to take more than one lesson per week if they prefer. For beginners, we recommend starting with 30-minute lessons once a week.
6. What is the semester commitment requirement?
We require a financial commitment for the entire semester, which is 18 weeks for the Spring or Fall semester, or as many weeks as remaining from the moment you enrolled.
7. Are monthly payments available?
Yes, but keep in mind that although monthly payments are available, your registration is effective for a full semester. If it becomes necessary to withdraw from instruction for any reason, the student must provide written notice of termination to the Director of the School. Refunds will only be issued during the first 7 days of enrollment. No refunds will be issued to any student who withdraws after the second week of lessons. This also applies to military families that have to undergo a permanent change of station (PCS) before the end of the semester.
Important:
If monthly payment arrangements were made, the student is still responsible for the remaining balance of the entire semester after withdrawing.
8. How can I get information about the instructors?
You can find information about our wonderful instructors here.
9. How do I book my weekly lesson time?
Upon completing the pre-registration form, we’ll contact you by email or text a few weeks before the semester starts (or within 24 hours if you contact us later) to set up your weekly schedule. You’ll receive an email with our availability and instructions to choose a time slot for your weekly lesson. Please note that the chosen time slot will remain the same throughout the entire semester.
10. When and how do I make my payment?
An invoice will be sent to you by email only once your enrollment and schedule are confirmed. Online payment can be made thereafter.
