Pricing & enrollment

Tuition is simple. Month-to-month, no semester minimum.

Private music lessons are billed monthly with auto-pay. Students can join any week of the year — there’s no fall-only or spring-only window.

Private lesson tuition

Pick the lesson length that fits.

All prices are monthly, billed on the 1st. Lessons run weekly, excluding our published holiday closures.

30-minute private lesson

$225/month

Once a week. A great fit for younger beginners and shorter attention spans.

45-minute private lesson

$330/month

Once a week. The minimum length for students age 7 and above.

60-minute private lesson

$420/month

Once a week. Best for serious students working on repertoire, exams, or auditions.

A one-time, non-refundable $35 registration fee is charged for each new student. Auto-pay is required and runs on the 1st of every month.

Sibling perk

Multiple students at home? We waive a registration fee.

Sign up three or more students on the same day and we waive the third $35 registration fee. Many families also schedule music lessons close together on the same day so a single trip to campus covers everyone.

  • Coordinated scheduling across siblings
  • Different instruments under one roof
  • Single drop-off, single pickup

Referral program

Bring a friend, both win.

Refer a friend to Amabile. If they enroll, you and your friend are both entered into our next raffle for great prizes — concert tickets, iPad, Apple Watch, and more — plus a small token of appreciation from us.

Just have your friend mention your name when they reach out, or email frontdesk@amabilemusic.org.
