Registration & Tuition

The Napa Valley Youth Symphony is committed to providing the best music enrichment program in Northern California. While other youth symphonies’ tuitions are often twice the tuition of the Napa Valley Youth Symphony, we provide high-level coaching with professional musicians and coaches, internationally renowned masterclass teachers and visiting conductors, a chamber music program, a retreat, field trips, a concerto competition, and exciting tours.
