Annual Registration Process Opens each year in August

​

Steps to enroll for the school year:

​

Complete the Registration Request Form for each student enrolling (including adult students). You will be asked to specify your instrument, lesson or class type, your preferred dates, times and teachers, and confirm that you have read and agree to TMS policies. You will also schedule a time for a follow up phone call. If you are registering multiple family members, you'll need to complete a separate intake form for each student.

​

Schedule a Phone Call

We will call you at a designated time to confirm your requests, collect the annual registration fee and store your payment method. We'll review TMS policies, schedules, scholarship and payment plan options and ask any additional follow up questions to help us match you with the teacher that is right for you. If you have multiple students enrolling we may be able to fit all the scheduling into one phone call, but the request form will ask you to select another phone call time. 

​

Annual Registration Fee

The $50 Annual Registration Fee is nonrefundable and is applied to each student annually. It is valid each August through the following July. All students must purchase the fee each year. Students continuing from the previous school year into summer do not need to repurchase the fee. Private lesson students new to TMS in summer must purchase the registration fee to be scheduled. Camps do not require a registration fee.​

​

How Scheduling Works

Each fall, Teton Music School builds our teaching schedule from scratch. We balance hundreds of student requests, teacher availability, room availability, sibling schedules, and program needs to create the strongest possible schedule for the entire school year. Fall registration assignments are announced by Labor Day.

​

Because private lessons are enrolled for the school year (September–May), lesson openings become limited once the schedule is established. Most schedule changes occur between billing sessions, when enrolled students may request schedule changes or withdrawals by the published deadlines. As a result, waitlists tend to move most following those deadlines.

 

The more availability you provide during registration, the more likely we are to find a lesson time that works for you.

 

Scheduling & Initial Payment

Our goal is to accommodate as many students as possible with the teachers, days and times they need. Fall registration assignments are announced by Labor Day. For enrollment outside the annual fall registration process, please allow two weeks from the phone call to confirm a lesson time. Once enrolled and confirmed with a lesson day and time, your stored payment method will be charged, and you will receive confirmation through Pike13. You can use your Pike13 dashboard to see your upcoming schedule, set notification preferences and manage other family members.

​

Billing & Changes
Lessons and classes are enrolled for the entire school year, September-May. Tuition is charged to your stored payment method according to the arrangement selected at registration: annual payment, session payment or monthly payment plan. Monthly payments are an installment plan only - they do not represent month-to-month enrollment. Once enrolled, tuition is nonrefundable for the duration of the enrollment period. Unpaid lessons will not be given. 

Students may request schedule changes or withdrawals only between billing sessions and by the published deadlines. All requests must be submitted using the official Change Request Form, which is emailed to enrolled families approximately two weeks before each deadline. Change requests submitted by email, phone, text or in person will not be accepted.

Monthly Payment Plans

Monthly payments divide tuition into evenly scheduled installments across the enrollment period. They do not reflect the number of lessons in a given month.

​

Joining mid-year or mid-session?

Students may join throughout the year as space allows. Registration is not complete until the annual registration fee and tuition are paid and you have received either a call or email confirmation from TMS.​
