Additional Information
- Lessons may be dropped by the third week of Sept/Jan for a full refund. After this date, there is no guarantee of a refund for the rest of the semester. Full-year registration packages (24 lessons from September to April) are also available to purchase.
- Payment is due by the first day of lessons, with a 1.5% interest charge applied to accounts overdue by 30 days.
- You can pay when you register online (see registration areas above) with your credit card. Alternatively, you can arrange to pay via e-transfer or cheque, or pay with a credit card later on our main payment portal. You will find those instructions in the registration form.
- Though private lesson registration is open throughout the year, students are assigned to teachers on a first-come, first-served basis. Mid-term registrants may only be able to reserve a limited number of lessons due to teacher availability and fixed end-of-term recital dates.
- Studio recitals happen in December and April, and while they are not mandatory, Conservatory students are strongly encouraged to participate in them.
