Trial periods and pro-rated tuition: Register at any time for a four-week trial period or a full semester. Students starting after the beginning of the semester should sign up for a trial period or contact the Community Music School for a pro-rated semester rate. Pro-rated plans are not available for group classes. Students must pay the full cost of the class regardless of the start date. Payment for a trial period and group classes is due in full before the first lesson with no exceptions. Contact the Community Music School office if you are not able to pay in full for 16 week semester plans. Inquire with CMS staff to request a scholarship application.
