Olympia Tuition & Fees

One-time Registration Fee (One per family)

$20

Re-enrollment/Re-registration Fee (One per family)

$10

We have no contracts, and you may disenroll at any time, though we hope you are with us for year so we can be a significant part of your musical journey! That said, we realize that from time to time some may need to disenroll for various reasons. Please note that we cannot hold your spot in a class or lessons when disenrolled, and, when you come back—which we hope you will—there is a one-time re-enrollment fee to cover the admin costs of re-instating your account.

Mission Partner Tuition Rate: TIA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit academy. All our mission partner families are helping us keep the mission of TIA going, and we so appreciate it! $10 or more from all mission partner rate tuition on private lessons and classes go directly to the TIA general fund, bills first, all extra goes directly to scholarship students in need. We thank you so much for your support and for helping us keep the music going!

Reduced Rate Tuition Available: Would our mission partner rate keep you from enrolling due to finances? Reduced rate tuition is always available. If you qualify (if your family earns less than 60% of the median income for Olympia), we can offer you a slightly reduced rate tuition, contact us for details.[1]

At TIA, all our private lessons, classes, and music therapy are tuition based, not pay per lesson, class, or session. This makes it easier for you as you pay the same rate every month and don’t have to worry about not knowing how much you owe on a particular month. You will find the average rates in the area vary from about $35-50 per lesson, which would be $140-200 monthly for weekly half hour lessons. As a non-profit, we do everything we can to provide you the best in music education at an affordable and attainable tuition rate.

Private lessons are weekly and meet every week except for TIA regularly scheduled breaks, so we strongly encourage planning schedules and vacations accordingly. *We have one week off for spring break, end of spring semester, end of summer (including Labor Day), Thanksgiving time and two weeks at Christmastime. We are also off for Memorial Day.
