*Registration Fee: For students not currently enrolled in private lessons at CMS, a $25 group class registration fee will be automatically processed after enrollment. Students currently enrolled in a group class or private lessons, and those in their immediate households who have already paid a registration within the last 12 months and register for a summer camp will not be charged an additional registration fee for camp. Please see CMS Student Policies: Tuition & Fees for more information.
*Financial Aid: The mission of Community Music School is to successfully provide the inspiration and opportunity for anyone in our diverse community to achieve excellence in music education and appreciate the transformative power of music. Financial aid is available to those who qualify, based on family need. Apply for financial aid here.
*Summer Camp Cancellation Policy: CMS does not provide makeup days for weather-canceled or missed group classes (View our Group Class Cancellation Policy here). Students or their parents may cancel summer camp enrollment or transfer to another camp and pay only a $25 service fee per student by providing written notice to registrar@cmslv.org at least 15 days before the first day of the camp or group class. If the student or parent cancels enrollment or requests a transfer within 14 days of the first day of the camp, a $75 cancellation service fee will apply. CMS will reduce this $75 fee to $25 for excused absences as defined by CMS policy here: School Policies. CMS will issue a refund (less the cancellation service fee) under these policies and apply a credit to the card that was used to register the student. The $25 registration fee is nonrefundable and will continue to cover any future registration for group classes for all family members for one full year.
