Winter 09 Registration Information

Winter term 2009

Winter term starts Monday, January 12, 2009 and runs for 8 weeks.  Lessons take place Tuesday to Saturday.  Registration takes place in the Music School office at 248 Ossington Ave and is done through Sherry Squires, Music School coordinator.

We assume that current students will continue their lessons for another term.  The office must be notified if a student is NOT continuing for another term. 

For current students there is no registration process and the only thing needed to be done is to pay for the winter term (through reception) preferably by the first week of term.

Registration for NEW students for the winter term is:

Wednesday, January 7 from 6:00-7:30

Thursday, January 8 from 6:00-7:30

Saturday, January 10 from 2:00-3:30

The After School Opera Program will begin January 14 (from 4:00-6:00).  Spaces are still available.  If you have questions, want more information, or wish to sign your child up, please contact Sherry Squires at 416-532-4828 x127 or email sherrysq@stchrishouse.org

Our children's choir will disband for the winter term and hopefully will start up for the spring term depending on the amount of interest.

The  Toronto Song Lovers rehearsal (adult choir) will be starting back on Wednesday, January 14th from 7:00-8:45 p.m. in the Community Hall.  The choir will be accepting new people at this time.
