University Settlement Music & Arts School 2007-2008 MEMBER PROFILES The University Settlement Music and Arts School has been providing quality, affordable music lessons and group classes for over 85 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, Drama for Kids, Community Choir, Chamber Music, Ear Training for Kids, Drumming Circle, Theory Classes 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 9:30am–4:30pm, Tuesday to Friday 9:30am–7:30pm, and Saturday 10:30am–2:30pm.   Anne Yardley, director Michelle Simmons, program assistant 416-598-3444 x243 or x244 anne.yardley@usrc.ca www.usrc.ca
