Frequently Asked Questions
The regular total cost for the Academy is $1447. However, the sale price right now is $997! We designed our program to be a FRACTION of the price you would pay for a similar program at a music conservatory.
Let us explain: The average tuition PER YEAR at a music conservatory is $50,000. They're also incredibly competitive to get in to, and there aren't any quality programs we know of that are all-virtual and go-at-your-own-pace.
We felt that the world needed a program for adult learners. Whether you've been playing for 5 months or 5 years, we feel strongly that you deserve the opportunity to recieve a well-rounded education on your instrument. Does this sound good to you? Click to sign up now!
