Registration

You can register for any of these music classes in three different ways:

• Call the Continuing Education Office (706 737-1636) and the staff will assist you.
• Print a Registration Form and mail it and the tuition (either a check or credit card information) to the Conservatory Program Office
• Click here to register online.

Please Note:

A registration form must be included with payment for each class or ensemble and for every set of lessons. This is to ensure correct registration information.  The first registration for any person in any Conservatory program must be filled out completely.  Subsequent registration forms really need only the student’s name, the teacher’s name, any changes in telephone, mailing address, or email information, and the relevant payment information, since we should already have the unchanged information in our computer database.
