The University Settlement Music and Arts School has been providing quality, affordable music lessons and group classes for over 80 years in downtown Toronto. We believe that the arts are a right, not a privilege and we offer music and arts programs to everyone, regardless of age, ethnicity, perceived talent, disability or ability to pay. Individual lessons are available on a wide variety of musical instruments, in voice and theory. Group classes include: Pre-School Music, Community Choir, Chamber Music, Solfege, Dance (jazz, tap and ballet), and Music Theatre.  Our faculty consists of highly qualified professionals.

Lesson fees are modest, and we offer subsidies to low-income families who qualify. Scholarships, practice facilities and instrument rentals are also available to our students. Student recitals are a regular feature at the Music and Arts School, offering excellent performance opportunities to our students in a non-threatening environment.  We also present faculty concerts, special events, and publish a newsletter, Tune-In, three times a year.

For specific information, call the office. Office hours are: Monday 9 – 5, Tuesday to Friday 9 – 7:30, and Saturday 10:30 am- 2:30 pm.
