Asking the tough questions this morning:

05/15/2024

June 3rd will be the first day students can register for summer and 2024-25 school year lessons or Music Therapy.

Summer term lessons are available from July 1st – August 24th (no lessons July 4th). First, create a schedule directly with your teacher, then contact the office.

For 2024-25 school year lessons, when you enroll during Pre-Registration you receive a $50 discount off your family’s registration fee, and you are given priority scheduling over students who register after pre-registration closes.

After the Pre-Registration period ends, teachers will work with students and families to determine their schedule for next year.

05/15/2024

We couldn't agree more! Music is for everyone!

All of them.
