Community Music School Registration

READ BEFORE YOU ENROLL:

Lessons/activities occur in-person at the Moody Music Building. In very few cases, teachers will opt for a hybrid of in-person/distance, or, if the student prefers, entirely via distance method. Private lessons occur almost exclusively in School of Music practice rooms, which can comfortably accommodate the teacher, student, and parent (required if student is a minor). Do not enroll until you have communicated directly with your selected teacher and have 1) a confirmed the method of your lesson (distance OR in-person), 2) the day/time of your lesson, and 3) the length of your lesson for the current semester. If you need a list of available teachers, email jweigel@ua.edu Connection issues? Check list: Use a land-connected device to enroll.

A payment must be received in order to be enrolled. You must be enrolled in order to attend.
