Important Information<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Online re-registration will open May 15. Students should register before the term begins (September 8), but can make registration changes through September 29, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lesson students who register will be automatically enrolled in the full term (8 weeks for summer or 16 weeks for Fall). If you have made special advance arrangements with your teacher, faculty may request that your registration be adjusted in 4-week increments only (i.e. 8 or 12 or 20 lessons instead of the standard 16).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The full-semester lesson tuition includes recitals, concerts, masterclasses, exams and juries, accompanying, access to Sibley Music Library, and (new this coming year) FREE<\/strong> enrollment in Music Theory and Aural Skills 1<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nMost registrations roll over for automatic spring registration (except for 9-week sessions or less, such as Early Childhood and Bridges courses).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Billing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Please note that registration is a commitment to the full semester.<\/strong> Tuition for all ECMS activities is a flat per-semester enrollment fee, not subject to custom prorating.

Spring semester bills will automatically be generated in January unless you notify the office in writing that you are dropping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
