Frequently Asked Questions
If I don't have an existing ensemble, how will I be matched with an ensemble?
This is an excellent question! Some people want an "all-in, take on any challenge, rehearse often" situation, while others may want "laid back and enjoy it no matter what", or "rehearse occasionally, because of travel or business." We take the time to meet with you, so we can understand who you are and what your musical goals are. We aim to match with like-minded persons. Because of this, we hope to connect you before rehearsals start, so you can meet each other and decide if you think it will work.
I don't know my work schedule enough to commit. How can I participate?
Everyone comes from a different situation, and we understand! This season, we will have two rehearsals that will allow you and your ensemble to choose the day, time and location of the rehearsals, between March and June. There will be three days in July to set aside, July 9th -11th. There will be two full days of organized coaching and training, and a culminating concert on the afternoon of July 11th.
I have an ensemble that wants to join. Is the tuition per person or per ensemble?
The $400 tuition is per participant. We are aiming to keep the tuition for our program as accessible as possible. Tuition covers coaches, venue and music.
What is the refund policy for the program?
We are willing to refund your payment in full within seven days from your initial payment. Thereafter, 50% of the fee would be refunded up to 30 days prior to the first scheduled rehearsal with our professional coach. No refund will be processed within 30 days before the first rehearsal. If we were to cancel the program event, we would refund your fee in full.
I want to join an ensemble, but cannot commit to the July 9th-11th dates. How can I participate?
If we have enough interest (which we believe we may), we will be running a full-season program beginning in the Fall. Please reach out and let us know you are interested. community.outreach@comusicpro.org
