Registration and Enrollment

Registration materials are available to download by clicking on FALL 2010 REGISTRATION FORM, and at the Academy of Music office at Mount Calvary Lutheran Church or Mount Olive Lutheran Church in South Minneapolis. Online registration is available by clicking here. You may also call the Academy of Music to request a mailing of registration materials to your home.

We also enroll by phone at 952-474-8893, ext 111 or 116.

Once we have received your registration, we will contact you to place your student with an instructor, and to determine a lesson day and time.

To ensure placement with the most suitable instructor, we will request information about the student's skill level and previous musical experience, stylistic preferences, objectives for studying, teaching styles best suited for the student, personal characteristics and scheduling preferences. If you already know which instructor you would like to study with, you may indicate this instructor on your registration form.

Payment of tuition and other fees under the selected payment plan is due prior to the student's first lesson. A non-refundable registration fee of $3.50 is due for each student along with tuition at the time of enrollment. Families with more than one student enrolled at the same time will receive a 5% discount on tuition for each student enrolled.

Students are welcome to enroll at any time during a term.
