• REGISTRATION FEE ​  All students enrolled at MK Singing School are required to pay an annual registration fee of $25. The registration year runs from September 1 to August 31 of the following year. The annual registration fee is due upon a student's first enrollment in each registration year and is charged only once per student per registration year. The registration fee is non-refundable, non-transferable, and is not prorated for students enrolling mid-year. The registration fee helps cover student records, administrative services, and school operational costs.

All registration fees and tuition payments are final and non-refundable.
