Question 1

Does HCA offer free trial classes?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  The HCA Music School offers 15-minute meet-and-greets between potential students and instructors to ensure the right fit. We also offer one free trial class for each group class in our dance, theatre, and visual arts schools (excepting short-term workshops), as long as there is space in the class. If you are interested in booking a trial, please contact us by phone or email, or speak to our friendly front-desk staff

Question 2

What is the registration process?

Accepted Answer

On the menu bar, you will find a link to our online registration. For arranging private music classes, we ask that you contact the office first to determine scheduling and availability of music instructors. In most cases, we will ask that the student complete a free 15-minute meet-and-greet with the music instructor before online registration proceeds. Our online system does not accept payment, so the administrative team will follow up regarding payment methods. Please note that registration is not complete until all payments are received.
