How to Register

We are happy to announce a transformation of our registration system.  The new system will be more convenient and efficient, and enable our administrative staff to provide better service to our customers. The new system will undoubtedly encounter its share of bumps in the road.

  • Registration Policy Changes
    • Music students will only be required to register  one time for the academic year (September through June). 
    • Returning music students should check with their instructors to determine whether they should register for a 34-week or 28-week session.  Dance students are already required to register for a full 36-week session.
    • A 10% minimum deposit will be required at the time of registration (based on a full year’s tuition).  Remaining tuition payments will be billed in four installments throughout the academic year.
    • A 25% minimum deposit will be required for registrations received after October 1st, with the remaining balance in 3, or 2 installments, depeding upon the date of registration.
    • The registration fee for the entire academic year will be $25 (instead of the current two $15 registration fees).  During the early registration period (on or before August 1st), the registration fee is waived for Returning Students.  Fees for late registration will still be assessed after September 7th.
    • Families will still  have the option to withdraw without penalty at the halfway point of the academic year if they so choose during the Opt-Out Week January 9 - 15, 2010.
