After you have completed your classes in the full year program, you can elect to stay in school by enrolling in the graduate program at a substantially reduced tuition. Each student will receive a private lesson once a week. Because you are still an enrolled student, you will retain access to the practice labs, classrooms for rehearsals and clinics. This is a great way to stay in Los Angeles and gig around town to use your new skills. We can help you extend your visa if you are an international student.

Once you have successfully completed the 40-week (full year) course in one department, you may enroll in a second program at a substantially reduced tuition rate. For instance, drummers can take the percussion program after completing their 40-week drum program. Students choose an alternate instrument for many reasons to diversify their playing ability.
