Registration

Private lessons come in packages of four. These four lessons take place consecutively. Days and times are available on a first-come first-served basis. Tuition payments are due prior to the start of the first lesson and then billed with the completion of each completed package on a rotating basis. Having a card on file for automatic payments is preferred. Enrollment is open throughout the year.

Please read our POLICIES before registering. After registering, you will receive an agreement form to sign off on these policies.

We encourage consistent, weekly lessons for students to experience both the short-term success and long-term growth that comes with learning to make music.

Registration is available through our online form. If you have registration questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us! If tuition assistance is needed, please use the registration link under the financial aid section to register instead.

Financial Aid

Founded on the vision that everyone should have access to quality music education, each year, Berkshire Music School allocates funding of financial assistance for students with financial need. 

Please note that financial aid for lessons is provided throughout our school year and is not available in the summer months. More information is available on the application page.
