Music Lessons
The Music School offers individual classes in piano, guitar, accordion, bass guitar, violin, voice and MIDI recording and composing using a computer. We also offer group classes in music theory and harmony (minimum of three students). We have 11 professional teachers on staff. Our adult community choir, the Toronto Song Lovers, is a special place for anyone who loves to sing and be part of the spirit of music making. We make every attempt to satisfy specific needs, instruments or musical styles. Students of all ages are welcome to enrol.
The Music School is open Monday to Saturday. Lessons on some instruments are only available on certain days. Lessons are generally one half hour per week but longer lessons are also available. Students are expected to practise every day and to be on time for their lessons. Most students who register stay for the school year. Students are expected to sign up for at least one term (a person cannot sign up for a couple of lessons). At least half of the term's fees must be paid for before classes start with the other half to be paid by mid term. All classes are held at 248 Ossington Ave.
New students must fill out a registration form and provide proof of income if applying for subsidy (financial support). Every effort is made to meet requests for day and time but we make guarantees. Most of the lessons take place between 4:00-8:00 weekdays and 10:00-4:30 on Saturdays. For more information, please see Registration/Financial Assistance.
