Programs2010-2011 Academic Year Our school year starts on September 10, 2010 and ends on June 27, 2011. Students may join our programs at any time during the year subject to space availability. There is an annual non-refundable registration fee ($25 for single, $40 for family). Private lessons: More than 18 different instruments are offered to students of different ages, ability levels, and interests. Students may register either for the full-term program or short-term program. New students automatically start with a 4-week tryout period to let them decide before committing to a longer term. Students have the opportunity to perform at our formal concerts (held twice a year) and mini-concerts (organized by the individual teachers). We also help interested students prepare successfully for examinations (Royal Conservatory of Music or Conservatory Canada) and/or competitions (Ottawa Kiwanis Music Festival and Canadian Music Competition). Many students, especially adults, also take lessons for the sheer joy of learning a musical instrument. If you would like to register, or need more details, please email us through our Contact page. Please include the following info to help us: * Student's name * Parents' name and contact info * Mailing address * Briefly describe instrument type, lesson duration, suitable day/time window(s), for lessons, and any other relevant info. Excellence Program: This year's program will start on October 2, 2010 and will take place on Saturday mornings at Ashbury College. It is designed for students who are interested in achieving a higher and more comprehensive level of musicianship in a fun and enjoyable way. Students for this program are typically already enrolled in a private lesson program at the school. The main element of the program is chamber music and ensemble training. Currently, the focus is on string ensemble with piano accompaniment. Students in this program have many opportunities to perform in public. Our Excellence Program ensemble has performed at the Centrepointe Theatre, the NAC Kinderconcert, the Young String Performers Foundation concerts, the Aviation Museum (Manor Park event), and for seniors at the Garry Armstrong Long Term Care Centre.
