Since the Covid-19 pandemic, GMYS has struggled to sustain operations. Despite attempts to pursue grant funding and diversify programming, GMYS is in a very tenuous financial position. This semester the Executive Director and Artistic Director are taking salary cuts of over 50% to maintain all existing programming. If your family is able to contribute tuition at the "sustainer" level this semester, that will help us continue to provide musical education to all interested students in Central Vermont. We thank you in advance for your contributions to GMYS. Any amount above the Sustainer level will be collected as a donation to GMYS which will be added to our tuition assistance fund.
Tuition must be payed in full by the first rehearsal/class of the semester. If the tuition is unpaid, members may not participate. You may make arrangements to pay tuition in two installments, with half due by the first rehearsal, by contacting the Executive Director.
Tuition can be payed via check or by PayPal:
Please make checks payable to GMYS and bring to the first rehearsal or class.Or mail to GMYS at P.O. Box 384, Montpelier, VT 05601-0384.
