Enrollment & Payment Information
Tuition is $117 a month - however if your first lesson falls mid-month we will pro-rate this. Because of this, TODAY you will only pay your $40 yearly Membership fee to hold your spot! After you signup, a staff member will contact you to arrange your first lesson, and then you will pay your tuition when you arrive at the studio.
Before Your First Lesson:
Please arrive at least 5 minutes early to set up your payment account and complete our medical waiver at the front desk. We offer convenient automatic monthly payments—see full policies below.

Lessons can begin right away! Once you enroll, your child may start on the next occurrence of the day and time you selected. For example, if you sign up for a Monday at 1:00 PM lesson and enroll on Friday, your first lesson can likely be the upcoming Monday. Our team will follow up to confirm your official start date.
We have a few talented instructors available to teach daytime lessons! When you select a class frin above, their name will be listed, and their APA bio will be linked for you to learn more about them!
Families with multiple children enrolled at APA only pay a maximum of $50 in registration fees—even if one sibling is already enrolled in our school-year classes. If you are enrolling multiple students, sibling status will be verified after registration, please checkout at the current rate, and we will credit you the difference when you arrive for your first lesson.
Whether you're a homeschool family looking to add music to your daytime schedule or an adult finally ready to try an instrument, we offer lesson times that fit your life and make learning enjoyable!
APA offers a variety of dance, music, and theatre classes for ages 2 and up, at our two studio locations in Oak Creek & Franklin, WI. We also own our sister studio, Next Step Dance Studio!
Our son started out with voice lessons but now also loves his APA drama club, musical theatre, and dance classes! He has participated in several theatre productions too and the atmosphere is super positive and welcoming. APA and its excellent staff have helped him learn and grow and we look forward to all their upcoming productions.
My daughter has been taking piano at APA for almost 2 years now. Her teachers have been great. She loves going and she’s learned so much already. They have a recital twice a year which is fun for the family’s to come and watch. Great place for lessons, would definitely recommend.
My family loves APA! My daughter has been taking piano lessons at the Oak Creek location for more than 6 years. She loves the teachers, atmosphere, and the opportunities she continues to receive as a musician. We can't wait to enroll our 3 year old in music classes in the near future as we know all the great benefits that come from learning to play an instrument.
