Enrollment

Rosie’s House provides tuition-free music education to students in the greater Phoenix area. Classes run for 32-weeks, split into fall and spring semesters, aligning with the regular school year. We ask our families to commit to the program from August to May, following the academic year.

Enrollment applications are reviewed each year in the spring. Because we receive more applications than spots available, new students are admitted through a lottery system to ensure a fair and equitable process. To qualify for admissions, families are required to attend a Family Interview; scroll down for more details.

Classes are held Monday-Thursday from 3:30 PM to 8:00 PM, and Saturday from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. Student schedules vary depending on class availability. Most classes meet once a week for an hour, while some meet twice a week.
