Tuition & Fees

Registration fees and tuition are prorated according to the date of enrollment. We arrange lessons for all instrumental/vocal genres, classical ballet, creative dance, historical dance, and Musikgarten preschool programs. All ages and levels are welcome!

During the academic year, instruction and billing are organized around two 18-week semesters and a summer session. The summer session is customized for each family, according to their vacation plans.

Payment is by check (payable to Carol Pharo, or to The Academy of the Performing Arts), bank transfer, or by cash. We do not accept credit cards.

Cancellations for private lessons are always made-up or credited, providing the teacher has been appropriately informed.
