2023 Music classes will start on the 11th of February.
New students, who have turned 6+ years old by the 30th of April, need to take recorder for one year and then they can choose from recorder level 2, Introduction to flute, keyboard, ukulele or violin lessons for the second year.
Our students are required to complete the two years of Basic Instruments before enrolling in a Main Instrument (3rd year program).
However special exemptions can be made for students who demonstrate that they can read music and who have had previous music lessons or are 9+ years old, the final decision will be at the teacher's discretion.
Our school funding is only for students aged 6-12.
However, for those who will be college students, you are welcome to continue participating in our orchestra and concert band for next year but please do not enroll in our lesson programs, due to our Ministry of Education funding requirements.
We only provide two levels of keyboard lessons, after level 2 of keyboard lessons, we encourage your child to try different instruments.
We only provide one level of ukulele lessons, after 1 year of ukulele lessons, we encourage your child to try guitar or different instruments.
All children that are 6+ years old start with two basic years.
In the first year they start with lessons on the recorder for one year.
In their second basic year they can choose one of the following options:
- Recorder
- Intro to flute: Nuvo Toot - mini flute
- Keyboard
- Violin
- Ukulele
However if students wish to learn a brass or wind instrument later, we highly recommend they learn the second year of recorder. If they wish to take flute later we recommend Intro to Flute: the Nuvo Toot - mini flute class.
After the two basic years the students can go on to learn an instrument of their choice from the following:
Strings: Violin, Cello, Guitar
Wood wind: Flute, Clarinet, Saxophone
Brass: Trombone, Trumpet
We also provide drums lessons.
