Pre-Registration Essentials: What you need to know

  • Lesson days/times/teachers are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend pre-registering as soon as possible for the best selection.

  • Students who pre-register will be reserving a specific weekly time with their teacher beginning the week of September 3, 2024 and continuing through the end of June 2025.

  • Please note that we will ask for your top three days and times. We will do our utmost to schedule you at your preferred time.

  • Each member of your family requires a separate pre-registration form for each set of weekly lessons they are registering for.

Pre-Registration FAQs

What happens to my pre-registration fee?
Pre-registration fees are applied directly to your total tuition for the 2024-25 studio year. When we calculate your tuition amount owing the first thing we do is subtract the amount that you have already paid in pre-registration fees.

Does everyone in my family need a separate form?
Yes! In order for us to keep our files up to date and make sure we haven't missed anyone, each family member requires a separate form and fee payment.

Do I have to pay a pre-registration fee for each member of my family that is pre-registering?
Yes! In order for us to keep our files up to date and make sure we haven't missed anyone, each family member requires a separate form and fee payment.

*Is my pre-registration fee refundable?

We have responded to community feedback and made a few changes to the policy around our pre-registration fees:
a) If you cancel your registration for the 2024-25 studio year before July 1, 2024 - your pre-registration payment will be refunded, less a $50 processing fee
b) If you cancel your registration for the 2024-25 studio year after July 1st and before September 1, 2024 - 50% of pre-registration payment will refunded less a $50 processing fee
c) If you cancel your registration for the 2024-25 studio year at any point after September 1, 2024 - there will be no refund or credit of pre-registration fees.

One of my children is a current student but the other child has never studied at MJMS before. Can I pre-register them both at the same time?
Yes! We extend the "current student" designation to siblings/family members!

What if none of the times I wanted are available?
There is a certain amount of juggling that happens once we've begun confirming lesson times, and it's almost always possible to find a suitable time for everyone. In the very rare instance that this doesn't happen, we will put you on our waiting list and work tirelessly to make sure you have a spot that works for you!

Why can't I just keep the time I had this year?
We have worked hard over the years to craft a system that is as fair and respectful as possible. Lesson days/times/teachers are assigned on a first-come, first-served basis because the needs and schedules of families shift from year to year, and we feel it's fairest to give everyone the chance to try for the time that will suit them best.

Can I talk to my teacher about my pre-registration requests?
The short answer is NO! Our instructors are not involved in any of the administrative aspects of the studio. They will spend as much time as they can chatting with you about your child's musical development, but any scheduling or pre-registration concerns should be directed to us.

My kids LOVE their current teacher but she/he/they are not coming back to the studio next year. What should I do?
Complete the form with your preferred days and times and contact us! We'd love to help you find the perfect teacher for your child(ren).
