Enrollment with Aspire Music Academy
Welcome to Aspire’s 2020 Season!
Fall 2020 term enrollment is open!
We can’t wait to start singin’ & dancin’ with you all!
Enrollment Information:
Aspire Music Academy will operate in a “hybrid” model for our Fall term. Adult and Youth Performers wishing to take part in person can join us for a “socially distanced” experience, with proven health and safety practices we have honed during our summer camps and intensives. 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 want to 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.
Especially now, we know people need a chance to connect and feel a part of something. Joining an Aspire group is a great way to connect with others while enjoying music with both new and old friends!
Fall Term for Youth Groups (September through December 2020):
Fall term is a four-month commitment and runs from the week of September 14th through mid-December. These performers pay a monthly tuition fee for their instruction, based on grade level (or age) and the group joined. Families paying for an entire youth term in advance receive a 10% discount on tuition for the term. Any applicable discounts appear on our online payment portal, which is a part of the enrollment process. For those choosing recurring payments, timing of those payments is also shown on the payment portal.

Rehearsal times:
