Tell Apollo what kind of musical win your child needs next.
Parent Intake gives Apollo the context to recommend the right first step: a $29 Trial Placement, Little Apollos™ Music & Play, Apollo Music Foundations™, Piano Pathway, Signature Song Sessions, Theory Lab, Music Production Lab, Integrated Pathways, or premium support when a student needs more customization.
Start with the right why
Apollo looks at age, confidence, rhythm, reading comfort, schedule, and song goals before recommending a path.
RecommendedSong goals included
If your child has a favorite song, tell us here so placement can consider a Signature Song Session.
Good to knowFormat comes after fit
Online, in-person, in-home, group, or premium private support should support the recommended program, not replace placement.
Good to knowIntake helps Apollo place the student on the right musical ladder.
The goal is a clear recommendation: where the student should begin, what progress parents should watch for, and what the next Apollo step should be.

Ashton personally reviews your interest. Each group independently needs 4–12 eligible, enrolled learners, staff placement review and available seats before launch. For the ages 10–12 Monday 4:00–4:45 p.m. cohort only, Ashton makes the final minimum-enrollment and readiness review at noon Pacific on November 2 and sends the launch confirmation or nonlaunch notice by 12:30 p.m. At least four eligible, enrolled learners must already meet this cohort’s launch requirements at noon. A fourth inquiry or a later 3:00 p.m. payment cannot supply a missing fourth learner. Other groups need their own approved exact preclass decision and notice times before acceptance. Sharing interest does not reserve a place, enroll you, trigger an invoice or authorize payment.
Short group inquiry Adult contact and age band only. The detailed Parent Intake below remains available.
Piano or keyboard required for live classes and home practice. Staff confirms your setup before enrollment.
Payment dates
For approved standard registrations with an accepted agreement, one $358 USD invoice is sent October 28, 2026. You may pay immediately; full payment of $358 or the $179 deposit is due November 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. With two payments, the remaining $179 is due December 1 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific on that same invoice.

Approved registrations October 29–November 1: receive their single invoice immediately after agreement acceptance. Only for the ages 10–12 Monday 4:00–4:45 p.m. cohort already confirmed to launch at its November 2 noon review, the first payment is due November 2 at 3:00 p.m. Pacific: $358 for full payment or $179 for two payments. This replaces the standard November 1 first-payment deadline for those approved late registrations only. The second $179 remains due December 1 at 11:59 p.m. Pacific. Other groups require their own approved exact preclass payment deadline before acceptance; this 3:00 p.m. exception does not apply to them. Sharing interest does not trigger an invoice or authorize payment. After the course starts, new inquiries join the next-cohort waitlist, with no prorated late entry.
No automatic charge or renewal. Apollo absorbs card processing for this course, so no card processing fee is added. Staff supplies the final written terms and confirms the payment method, exact deadlines, cutoff times and timezone in writing before agreement acceptance and invoice.
