Scholarships & Accessibility

Because sacred music is for everybody, every voice, every story.

Ars Musica is committed to the belief that music is a sacred and human right—not a luxury reserved for the privileged. Our teaching studio and ministry offerings are designed to serve students and communities with fairness, flexibility, and respect, regardless of financial circumstances, disability, or background.

We believe that with the right support, every person can grow musically. And we’re building a structure that reflects that belief in practice, not just in theory.

Financial Accessibility: Scholarships & Sliding Scale

A limited number of need-based scholarships and sliding scale lesson options are available each term. These are intended for:

  • Students from low-income households

  • Families managing unexpected financial strain

  • Adults pursuing ministry or vocational music work

  • Caregivers of disabled students seeking long-term support

Scholarships are made possible by Parker’s personal investment in educational equity and by future partnerships with donors and institutions who believe in this mission.

If you are interested in applying for financial assistance, you may reach out directly via our Contact Page for a conversation.

Disability & Neurodivergent Inclusion

Ars Musica welcomes students who learn, move, communicate, or experience the world differently.

Parker has completed university-level coursework in adaptive musicianship, performance health, and inclusive pedagogy, and works closely with caregivers and therapists when helpful. Many students in the studio live with:

  • Autism, ADHD, or sensory integration needs

  • Visual or motor impairments

  • Learning disabilities or language differences

  • Cerebral palsy, muscular atrophy, or genetic conditions

  • Physical or cognitive disabilities that impact traditional pacing

Music lessons at Ars Musica are adaptable, not diminished—rooted in structure, dignity, and high expectations shaped to the learner. Learn more about our approach to disability access here.

Our Promise

If you or someone you love wants to learn music—and you’re unsure how to begin, how to pay, or whether you’ll be welcomed—please reach out. We will do everything we can to make space.

Because the work of sacred music is not about talent. It’s about care, commitment, and calling.
