private lesson registration

Private Lesson enrollment cannot be completed independently online. Since we believe in a tailored approach, we take the time to learn each students’ goals and interests before recommending the teacher(s) that best suit the student. Here’s what to expect when enrolling in private lessons at BMS: 
  1. Fill out an inquiry form online. You will be directed to create a profile on ASAPConnected, our registration system. We will use this profile to post enrollments, contracts and billing information. Save this login information and be sure to use accurate and up-to-date contact information. 
  2. Our enrollment team will reach out to you to set up a phone or in-person meeting. Note: due to high demand, some instruments will require in-person meetings to complete the registration. 
  3. Once paired with a teacher, enrollment will be sent via email to the primary contact on the account. Invoices must be paid within 2 business days to secure the time in a teacher’s schedule. Unpaid registrations will be cancelled. 
  4. Once your invoice is paid, our enrollment team will introduce you to your teacher via email in advance of the first lesson to discuss any preparatory details. 

BMS offers term-based enrollment during the school year and flexible enrollment during the summer. This means that summer schedules can be “custom-built” to fit students’ schedules. During the school year, terms consist of 16 weeks of lessons (Term I and Term II).

All students are permitted one make-up lesson for an excused absence only. Students may enroll in private lessons at any point in a term for a prorated tuition.

BMS follows the same holidays and vacations as the Public Schools of Brookline. 

Reregistration process:

  1. Timing: Invoicing occurs twice yearly.
    1. December: for for Term II
    2. May: for Term I
  2. Deadlines: Failure to meet these deadlines could result in a loss of your lesson time or teacher. 
    1. January (Term I) 
    2. June (Term II)
  3. Automatic Invoicing: Students are automatically billed for the same lesson time and duration. Payment is not automatic and must be submitted by the student/parent. 
  4. Payment: All registrants should pay or make the appropriate arrangements to pay their invoices by the deadline if they plan to continue, even if they need a schedule adjustment.
  5. Schedule Changes: After payment, email any schedule adjustment requests to [email protected]. We can only accommodate requests for paid invoices
  6. Accommodation: We’ll do our best to meet your scheduling needs, but if we are unable to accommodate, alternative schedules will be offered, sometimes with new studio teachers. Refunds are provided if no acceptable changes can be made.
