The Municipal Committee unanimously approved the tuition fees for the Spata–Artemida Municipal Conservatoire for the 2026–2027 academic year. Decision 647/2026 was taken at the meeting on Tuesday 20 October, was published on the Diaugia transparency portal on 3 November and, as a proposal, is now being submitted to the Municipal Council for final approval.
Enrolment costs a one-off fee of 10 euros. Monthly tuition fees depend on the department and year group.

- Upper 3rd year – Bachelor’s degree: 85 euros

The modern and traditional music classes (amateur) cost 40 euros a month, and the modern ensemble class costs 10 euros.
For young children
The introductory music course for pre-schoolers and nursery children costs 20 euros a month. The ‘mini’ piano or guitar for Year 1 costs 25 euros, and the ‘junior’ piano, guitar, violin or trumpet for Year 2 costs 35 euros. The children’s choir is free; the adult choir costs 20 euros a month.
Theoretical and specialised modules
Advanced theory lessons cost between 60 euros (Harmony) and 140 euros (Composition) per month. Compulsory subjects, such as theory, solfège and harmony, cost 10 euros each, whilst chamber music or compulsory piano costs 20 euros. Preparation for music secondary schools costs 40 euros and for musicology 60 euros per month. Entrance examination fees are 50 euros, progression examination fees 10 euros, whilst fees for an instrumental degree or diploma are 300 and 400 euros respectively.
Discounts
A 12 per cent discount is available for the second child, each additional instrument, families with three or more children and their children up to the age of 25, as well as Conservatoire teachers and municipal employees with their children. In large families, the fourth child and any subsequent children attend free of charge. People with disabilities are entitled to a 25 per cent discount.
Two conditions: discounts apply only to residents of Spata–Artemida and cannot be combined. Anyone who falls into more than one category is entitled to the single, most favourable discount. No discounts apply to compulsory courses, specialised modules or examination fees.
Why these amounts?
The proposal from the Directorate of Sport and Culture refers to a directive from the Ministry of the Interior: tuition fees must cover at least 70 per cent of the teachers’ salary costs, and the remainder may be provided by the Municipality from its budget. The proposal cites Decisions 511/2024 and 607/2025 as its basis, which set the tuition fees for the previous two academic years, and cites the need for a ‘socially responsible pricing policy’.
