How to Register
After you've decided to enroll in music lessons, classes, performing groups, or workshops, you'll need to register by either filling out a registration form 
and submitting a payment by mail or fax, or by simply calling the office and registering over the phone. Before registering for music lessons, please call our office to schedule a first lesson with one of our instructors.
Register the following ways:
In person at our office (901 North 96th St. Seattle, WA, 98103)
By phone; call (206) 526-8443
By mail (send to P.O. Box 30757, Seattle, WA 98113)

Registration Deadlines
New students may enroll for private lessons at any time during the term. Activities with specific registration deadlines are listed in the class descriptions. Students may register for ensembles, classes and workshops after the registration deadline with the permission of the instructor. Music Center reserves the right to cancel any class, ensemble or workshop for which there is insufficient enrollment one week before the class starting date, unless another registration deadline is listed in the class descriptions. In case of cancellation, the student will be issued a full refund, including fees. Instructors may be changed without prior notice to students.
Individual Lesson Registration
Lessons are scheduled based on student and teacher availability. New students may register for private lessons at any time during the term. Tuition will be pro-rated to reflect the remaining weeks in the term. A higher fee is charged for students who take less than a full term of lessons. Paying per lesson requires pre-authorization by the instructor and a signed agreement to automatic withdrawal on credit or debit card. Contact the office for more details.
Payments
Tuition and fees are due at the time of registration. Students may not begin classes or lessons until payment has been received. Payment may be made by cash (exact amount), check, VISA, or MasterCard. Fees totaling $150 or more may be paid in installments, in which case a $5 processing fee is applied to each of the subsequent payments. Payments received one week after the due date are assessed a non-refundable $25 late payment fee. Student participation may be suspended for non-payment.
