Enrollment with Aspire Music Academy
Welcome to Aspire’s 2023 Winter-Spring Term!
Enrollment is open our next term!
We can’t wait to start performing with you all!
Enrollment Information:
Aspire Music Academy anticipates all groups will continue to rehearse in person in the upcoming term! As conditions require it, we will continue to support a “hybrid” model for our Winter-Spring 2023 Term. Performers wishing to take part in person can join us for an in-person experience using current health and safety guidelines. Performers may also opt to take part online in the same rehearsals. You make the choice that fits best for you and can change from in-person to online or back again at any point. See below for our full set of health and safety procedures.
Aspire offers tuition assistance for anyone needing financial support to take part. We will accommodate everyone who wishes to be with us! If you would like to explore tuition assistance, please write to us at info@aspiremusicacademy.com with “Tuition Assistance” in the subject line.
The performing arts are fully alive once again! People can really connect and feel a part of something. Joining an Aspire experience is a great way to connect with others while enjoying music with both new and old friends!
