Enrollment & Tuition
Admission Procedures
New students and their parents are invited to attend an admissions meeting on campus or a consultation phone call. The consultation ensures proper student placement, scheduling, and program orientation. Students receive a DAMPA binder for storing music and study materials. Each binder also includes our policies and procedures, upcoming group makeup dates, and helpful tips for the student’s instrument.
Enrollment
The academy operates month-to-month, year-round, without lengthy contracts. New students can register on-site or by phone during business hours. In the case of any circumstance in which lessons must be terminated, please complete a withdrawal form by the 15th day of the student's final month.
School Year Calendar
DAMPA is open year-round. The public calendar of all upcoming events is viewable online at dallasacademyofmusic.com/events/list/.
Tuition
Tuition is to be paid prior to the start of lessons and is auto-billed on the first day of each month. Weekly private-lesson pricing:
- 30-minute weekly: $269/month
- 45-minute weekly: $339/month
- 60-minute weekly: $419/month
First-month bills are prorated if lessons begin mid-month, and an enrollment fee applies at registration. We accept all major credit cards. DAMPA does not store or handle your card details — they are entered directly into our payment processor's secure systems. Workshops and additional events may have separate, non-refundable registration fees. Sheet music and lesson books cost extra.
Failed Card Fee
After DAMPA sends official notification of a failed charge, a $10.00 Failed Card Fee will be added to your account for each completed lesson that has not been billed on time. Accounts left unresolved within a month result in the lesson being removed from the schedule until the account is current.
