Question 1

Why is your tuition so low compared to other music organizations?

Accepted Answer

It is CYMG’s strong belief that music education should be accessible to ALL students.  As such, we set our price at $20 per hour and work hard to fundraise to make up the deficit. We try to keep our expenses low by relying on donors, in-kind donors, and volunteers. The organization is completely volunteer run, except for the instructors who are paid an hourly wage for the time they are teaching.
