Private Music Lesson Program

Students participating in private music lessons must either be picked up immediately after class by a parent, or they will be escorted to After Care. Students will not need to pay the After Care fee on the day of their lesson. If a student must make up a lesson on a different day or if they attend an additional lesson and it has been arranged with the Lesson Coordinator in advance, they also will not be charged. If a student needs to attend After Care on a day they do not have a music lesson, they will need to pre-register or will be subject to drop-in fees. Music students should not pre-register for After Care on days they have private music lessons. The Lesson Coordinator and Extended Day staff will communicate to properly document Extended Day attendance.
