Tuition/Fees

Orange County Mormon Choral Organization is among the most affordable music education organizations in America, and an inexpensive supplement to an academic education and private music lessons. Tuition or a participation fee is charged for the ensembles that rehearse on a weekly basis. Children/youth choirs are charged tuition for their weekly music education. Adult choir participants pay a nominal participation fee for their weekly music instruction. The proceeds from tuition and fees help to defray the expenses of the organization.

Tuition rates listed below for children's and youth ensembles are valid until 11:59 pm of the first rehearsal day each semester. Late registration rates (add $20) apply beginning at 12:00 am on the Friday following the first rehearsal day of the semester. Registration closes at midnight on the Monday following the second rehearsal day each semester. Tuition is paid online as part of the registration process. To register online, see Registration and Auditions.

The participation fee for the Orange County Mormon Choir (adults) is due prior to the first rehearsal. Adults who are accepted into the choir receive a password to access the Participants page and pay their fee online.

See exact tuition rates and participation fees for each ensemble in the table below.

Concert Attire

In addition to the tuition (children/youth) or participation fee (adult choir), all choral ensembles are required to purchase concert attire from OCMCO's retailer. The orchestra wears concert black. Details about concert attire are given to participants at the beginning of each semester. See concert attire estimated costs in the table below.
