The curriculum of the Precollege Division has been devised to assure a thorough musical education.

The basic tuition includes four classes, which meet every Saturday:

• Private 60 or 40 minute lesson (Typically, 40-min lessons are reserved for young students or secondary instrument lessons.)
• Theory class
• Ear training class
• One large ensemble or small ensemble (as assigned)

In addition to these four classes, basic tuition includes:

• Eligibility for performing opportunities
• Concert attendance
• An annual Jury

Students may also enroll in elective courses for an additional fee.
