Before you sign up
A trial class is the easiest way to see if a class fits. A few things to ask first.
- These post a free first or trial class: The Brazilian Capoeira Academy, The Little Gym, Gymnastics of San Antonio, Endurance Elite and Kidcreate. The Children's Chorus has a free class for kindergarten to 5th grade.
- Ask about the full cost: tuition, registration or membership fees, uniforms or costumes, and recital or concert fees.
- Ask how many kids are in a class and who teaches it.
- Ask what happens when your child misses a class, and whether you can make it up.
- Ask if parents can watch, and where to wait.
- Ask about financial aid. The Children's Chorus and YOSA both post tuition help.
- Youth orchestras and older choirs place kids by level, so an audition or voice placement is normal. It decides the group, not whether your child can join.
