Community Music School Program

Registration

The Brooklyn Conservatory of Music’s (BKCM) Community Music School division offers annual registration on a 32 week calendar year for private lessons in all major instruments. BKCM also offers a variety of group classes and ensembles. Adult private lesson students (18 and over) have the option to register in two 16 week semesters.

Our Registration team is here to help field inquiries and answer any questions you may have about our course and lesson offerings, teachers, and to help find the right fit for every student!

Trial Lessons

Students who want to be sure that private lessons are the right fit or just want to try out a specific teacher, have the option to enroll and pay for a single lesson before committing to the full term. Following a trial lesson, please contact registration to confirm your enrollment. After the trial lesson we hold your spot for 24 hours after the trial lesson.

Students can take as many trial lessons as they would like, but may only take one trial lesson per teacher. Brooklyn Conservatory of Music also offers audits for group classes based on class availability. Audits are not for our beginner group instrumental classes on Piano and Guitar. We do not offer trial lessons during the summer semester.

Payments

Payments are required in order to confirm registration; no lesson times or class slots will be held until payment has been made towards the tuition. Payment plans are available for an additional fee of $35. Payment plan dates are set by BKCM and payments run automatically.

Additional Fees: BKCM requires several nonrefundable administrative fees in addition to lesson and class tuition.

$35 Registration Fee: paid once per school year per family account.
$35 Payment Plan Fee
$35 Missed Payment Fee – If an automatic payment plan installment is late, students have 24 hours to call or come by the Conservatory to settle their account. After 24 hours, a $35 missed payment fee will be applied. Classes and lessons are at risk of being paused due to non-payment. Any lessons and classes missed during a pause for non-payment will not be made up.

Please note that if you have a past due balance you will not be able to re-enroll until the balance is paid in full.
