it's time to jam
Tuition at Black Tie Music Academy is a flat fee and the same across all instructors and locations. Spring lessons begin 1/5/15. An annual fee of $30 is charged to patrons each September to cover office supplies such as toner and paper for the year. Please understand that by patronizing BTMA, you agree to adhere to our *NEW* cancellation policy.
private lessons - start anytime!
WE CAN TEACH YOU ANYTHING! Between 17 instructors and decades of teaching and performance experience, there isn't an instrument or genre we can't teach you how to play. Most people ask for one of the "big four:" piano, guitar, drums, or voice. Generally, most piano, drum, and vocal students begin at 5, guitar at 6, and band instruments in 4th grade. That might be a good place to start if you're unsure about what interests you. Please use our contact form to find out more or to find an instructor that works for you!
We recommend beginners take 30 minute private lessons once a week. Those are $110 a month. Want more instruction? See below: 45 min a week - $160 a month 1 hour a week - $210 a month 1:30 a week - $310 a month 2 hours a week - $410 a month *Prices are per student. If you have 2 students each taking 30 minute lessons, the total is $220 ($110+$110). Also, there is an additional $10 a month charge if our instructors come to your home* Scroll down this page to see a calendar of lesson days. |
small group classes - starting 1/5/15
Groups of 30 like some other schools? Nah, not here. At BTMA, we cap each small group at 12 to ensure your child gets the most out of their musical afternoon. Classes are a flat rate of $110 per month (with a $30 paper/toner fee charged every September). We offer all kinds of ways to expose your children to the joys of music. This is where education meets entertainment. To find out more about a class or to sign up, please fill out our contact form. Class descriptions are below.
