Ellis Marsalis Center for Music

Fall 2025 Session

Fall is just around the corner! Our Fall 2025 session begins August 18, 2025 and ends December 6, 2025. We offer classes Monday through Thursday from 4:00 PM--7:00 PM and Saturdays mornings from 8:00 AM--11:30 AM. The fee for the fall session is $30 and includes access to an instrument as well as daily dinner and snacks. This fee is due at the time of registration and is non-refundable. If you would like information about payment arrangements or financial assistance, please contact Ms. Ellen at 504-940-3400 or [email protected].

Our weekday classes include instruction in students' primary instrument/discipline, piano, coding/music technology, and homework help. Saturday classes are offered individually; students can take up to two classes of their choice on Saturday--one starting at 8:30 AM and one starting at 10:30 AM. Every student has access to snacks, meals, and on-site counseling services.

Before you begin the application process, please have a digital scan or photo of your student's birth certificate and proof of address ready to attach to the registration form. When you're ready to register your student, please select your their main musical discipline below. (Every student who studies an instrument also takes piano; students are not permitted to switch musical disciplines once the session begins.) You will then be asked to sign up with Jumbula. Please create an account with Jumbula in order to register your student for the fall session. If you have any questions, please contact Ms. Ellen at 504-940-3400 or [email protected].
