Non-Refundable Registration Fee

Registration fees are waived for students ages 65 and older as a senior discount. Students must register by phone to get this discount.
Attendance
Because scheduling a private lesson has a direct impact on many others, it is important that students attend all lessons at the assigned times. If a student needs to miss a lesson, please notify Cape Symphony by calling 508.362.2772 (Barnstable) or 508.540.0611 (Falmouth) as soon as possible so that we can notify the instructor.
Instructors are under no obligation to provide a make-up lesson or class due to a student’s absence. Students with lapsed attendance from lessons or classes are obligated to pay for the remainder of the semester. No refunds or credits will be issued for missed classes or private lessons. In the event of an extreme circumstance, please contact

If an instructor is unable to attend a scheduled class or private lesson for any reason, they will offer a make-up session within the current semester whenever possible. If an instructor is unable to schedule a make-up session, Cape Symphony will issue a credit for future use, or a refund.
