This allows you to experience the workshop firsthand and determine if it meets your expectations. If you decide that the workshop is a good fit for you, we will issue an invoice for the enrollment period you prefer.

Absences & Refund Policy

Due to our fixed rental and teacher costs, as well as what’s best for academic results, make-up sessions are not available. Think of it like a gym subscription. When you pay your spot in a particular ensemble, it is held for you during that period. If you take breaks in between billing cycles, your spot will be made available to other students. We have long waiting lists for some of the classes.

Refunds: For our weekly workshops and private lessons, we offer the ability to try a class to see if it is a good fit, once you opt for a plan (4 weeks, or semester) there are no refunds for unused classes. In special circumstances, upon request, the school may offer a credit towards another course or service.

Summer Intensive Workshops

The summer intensive workshops are intensive courses held during four or five consecutive days in the summer. Students are required to fill out the registration form and reserve their participation well ahead of time. In most cases, an audition tape is required.

  • Discount: We offer a $50 discount for students taking two or more summer workshops in the same year.

International Workshops (Italy, Brazil, Etc)

For International workshop withdrawals and cancellations, the following penalties apply:

  • 120 Days or More Before Start Date: Refund minus an administrative fee of $250.
  • Between 119 and 30 Days Before Start Date: A penalty of 25% of the total amount due.
  • Within 29 Days of Start Date: A penalty of 50% of the total amount due.

We highly recommend purchasing travel insurance to avoid losses should you cancel your trip due to sickness or other emergencies.
