Tuition / financial assistance
The Piedmont East Bay Children's Choir is a 501 (c)(3) non-profit organization.
PEBCC program fees include semester and annual tuition for all participants, combined with our sliding scale, income based financial assistance framework to ensure every child can participate and families are included and valued as a part of our community.
Some Training Department singers have the option to attend Training Department Intensive Weekends and summer music camps. Additional fees are assessed for these activities.
Performing Department students in Concert Choir and Ensemble are required to participate in summer music camp to prepare them for upcoming season collaborations and their respective national and international tours. Ecco students may also choose to enroll in a shorter summer music camp. Additional fees are added for summer music camps, retreats, and tours for all Performing Department students. Choir families are responsible for purchasing tickets for any concerts they wish to attend.
Our sliding scale financial framework applies to all choral activities.
2025-2026 Season
Charges for the regular choir year (September through June, including fall and spring tuition, and any applicable camp/retreat fees) are bundled together for ease of payment. Tour fees are assessed separately, to accommodate our singers’ tour fundraising efforts.
Monthly payment plans are available to fit your family budget. Payments may be made by check, via registration link, or by calling the office at (510) 547-4441.

NOTE: Because of the high demand for support, applications will be reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis, may be awarded for partial fee subsidy only, and are dependent upon available funds. Therefore, we HIGHLY encourage families to apply as soon as possible for best consideration. A new application and supporting materials must be submitted each year. Awards may vary from season to season based on availability of funds, regardless of past history.
PEBCC is accepting applications for the 2026-27 season, and will begin reviewing and awarding applicants in July 2026. Beyond July, applications will be reviewed on a first-come-first-served basis, and are dependent upon available remaining funds.
