MULTI-CHILD DISCOUNTS: To keep the program affordable for families, multi-child/class discounts are given for students within the same family for Primary Ensembles only.

Primary Ensembles include: Beginning, Intermediate, Concert, & Symphonic Band, Intermediate & Chamber Strings, and Elementary, Middle, and High School (The Notables) Choirs.

Multi-child discounts per semester:

  • $180 First child/class
  • – $25 Second child/class
  • – $50 Third child/class and beyond
  • Multi-child/class discounts DO NOT APPLY to Private Lessons, UNAM, Handbell Choir, Guitar Ensemble, Jr. / Sr. Jazz Band, and General Music classes. A Private Lesson student may be counted as the 1st child/class in a single family with multiple children in the program. The second child participating in a Primary Ensemble would have tuition reduced by $25. If a second child is also registered for Private Lessons, the rate for the second child will also be the normal Private Lesson rate.

MONTHLY PAYMENT PLAN: If spreading out your tuition makes PMA more manageable for your family, you will be able to choose your payment plan during registration.

PARTIAL TUITION ASSISTANCE: We would like all children to have an opportunity to participate in music through PMA. If you have a special financial circumstance that prevents participation, please contact our Administrator at office@piedmont-music.com to find out more about the possibility of tuition assistance. Each request will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Additional VOC Costs for new Middle & High School students):

  • Concert Attire – $85 per student
  • Returning growing students may also need new attire. VOC staff will email more information.

Late Fees:

A late fee of $20 per month will be charged for tuition not paid in full by the due date. Unpaid tuition may cause your child to be dropped from the class. If there are special circumstances that may cause your payment to be late, please contact the PMA Administrator as soon as possible. office@piedmont-music.com.

Instrument Rental Fees:

If you would like to rent a musical instrument from PMA the cost ranges from $75 – $125 per semester. Summer rental is the same. This is on a first come, first serve basis.
