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 activities include: Children’s Choir, Teen Drama, Community Choir, Community Orchestra,  Chamber Music, Ear Training for Kids and Adults, and Dance (jazz, tap and ballet).  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. Regular student recitals offer excellent performance opportunities to our students in a family environment. We also present faculty concerts, special events with special guests, and workshops.

For specific information, call the office. Office hours are: Monday 9:30 – 4:30, Tuesday to Friday 9:30- 7:30, and Saturday 10:30- 2:30pm.
