3-Step Registration Process
Start by completing our inquiry form to share your interests, goals, and availability. This helps us begin the process of identifying the best options for you.
Following your inquiry, we’ll either reach out to schedule a placement meeting, or you can conveniently book it yourself. This meeting allows us to explore your or your child’s musical background and goals, so we can recommend the teachers, classes, and programs that will make the experience truly rewarding and enjoyable.
Once the perfect match is found, we’ll guide you through registration using our online portal-and the music-making begins!
Fall Drop-in Days
Experience a rehearsal. Meet other musicians. Discover where you belong!
Thinking about joining an ensemble at Hoff-Barthelson? Our Fall Drop-In Days are a great way to explore what HBMS has to offer. Students are invited to take part in a rehearsal, meet our faculty, connect with other musicians, and get a feel for the ensemble experience before enrolling.
Whether you are looking to sing, play in an orchestra, join a jazz ensemble, or make music with a group of fellow instrumentalists, there is an opportunity to explore.
Interested in musicianship or composition?
Opportunities are also available to drop in on select musicianship and composition classes. To arrange a visit, please contact Dr. Derek Cooper here.
All Fall Drop-In Day events are free and open to the public.
