Request an application form for instrumental tuition, which will provide the information you require specific to your college.

Fees apply to the learning of a musical instrument. While the services of the instrumental teacher are paid by the Department, you will be required to pay an administrative fee, plus the cost of hiring the instrument. In addition, students are required to purchase a music tutor book, and other essentials as required, such as reeds for woodwind instruments, and replacement strings from time to time on guitars and other stringed instruments. Percussion players are required to own their own drumsticks. These costs vary from college to college, and from instrument to instrument, but typically, a student who hires an instrument might expect to pay between $150 and $250 for a year’s tuition.
