General Information

Examinations need not be taken at every level. Students should accept at least two exams prior to the grade 8 level. The grade 8 exam is mandatory if the student wishes to continue to the grade 9 level. Students can take an exam at any level at request of the parent. Examination fees vary from $50 to $300. Registration dates for exams are November 1st and March 1st Applicants received after the deadline are not considered. Money is not refunded for exams not taken.

In order to earn a certificate for certain grades, you will need to meet theory requirements. We offer excellent group classes in all the required subjects (history, rudiments and harmony). Please consult your teacher to find out which courses you will need. Certificates can be used towards high school credits (Gr. 9 music and OAC).

Four post-dated cheques, dated the first of each month, and made payable to the teacher, are due at the first lesson in September. Six post-dated cheques will be required at the first lesson in January. The teacher will specify the amount of each cheque in a statement. The student is committed to Carswell Music Studios for one month at a tine. If the student wished to discontinue music lessons, all remaining cheques will be returned or destroyed.

Lessons canceled by the teacher will be made up or refunded. Lessons missed by the student will be made up at the teachers’ discretion. We cannot provide excellence to your child if lessons are regularly missed. Consideration needs to be given to the teacher who books you this set time for the whole year.
