Everything you need to know about programs, scheduling, pricing, and getting started at Creative Institute.

Getting Started

No prior experience is required. Our programs are designed for beginners as well as developing creatives. We meet each individual at their current level and guide them toward excellence.

We work with a wide range of ages, including children, teens, and adults. Each program is thoughtfully tailored to fit the developmental needs of the individual.

Getting started is simple. Enroll online, book a consultation, or call and text us directly. Our team will guide you through every step.

Programs and Sessions

Yes. We offer In-Home Creative Development for individuals who benefit from learning in a comfortable and familiar environment.

Yes — and this is one of our most popular options. We are open Monday through Saturday from 9am all the way to 9pm, so evening slots are available every day we operate. Night classes are ideal for students in school during the day, working adults, and busy families who cannot make it during traditional hours. You receive the exact same quality of instruction in the evening as any other time — same instructors, same equipment, same standard of excellence. There is no difference in the experience, just the time on the clock.

Booking an evening session is simple. You can use our AI assistant (the chat button on the site) to find an open evening slot and get it scheduled in minutes. You can also call or text us at 910-242-4567 to speak with our team directly and pick a time that works for you. If you prefer, you can also submit an enrollment request online and indicate your preferred time window — our team will match you with an available evening instructor.

Yes. Walk-in lessons are available during all open hours, including evenings. Just show up anytime between 9am and 9pm, Monday through Saturday, and a session is $30 per hour — paid at the door. No appointment needed, no contracts. We recommend calling ahead if you want to guarantee a specific instrument or instructor for your evening slot, but walk-ins are always welcome.

Absolutely. Group sessions are available and we love when people bring a friend, sibling, or small group. Training together creates energy, accountability, and a lot more fun. Group rates are available — just ask our team when you reach out or note it in your enrollment form. You can also indicate group enrollment directly on our online enrollment form.

We offer structured membership plans that include 1 to 3 sessions per week, depending on the selected program.

Membership includes structured sessions, hands-on instruction, and ongoing development designed to build skill, confidence, and creativity.
