Class rates and studio policies
Tuition at Great Commission Studios is plain and printed here the way a programme prints its last page: every class level, what it costs, and what the studio asks of its families. All listed class rates are billed per month, for every skill level and age.
New students can take a free trial class before they enroll. Call the studio or send a note through the contact page.

Opting out of the recital
