Learning Among Peers
Settlement classes are an opportunity to expand upon all that students are learning in Individual Instruction. From developing critically important theory and ear training skills in Advanced Music Workshop and Musicianship, to unlocking their most creative selves through Composition, to exploring new genres of music in Rock Band and Music Technology and Production, Settlement has it all. In our classes, students will find the tools and guidance they need to develop their innate abilities and find the confidence to shine.
Group Piano Classes
Currently offered at our new Helen Eaton Keyboard Lab, located in our Mary Louise Curtis Branch (416 Queen St.), group piano lessons offer a new way to learn at entry and intermediate levels, encouraging collaboration and introducing students to musicians of similar skill level. These one-hour courses run for 15 weeks and are currently available for ages 5-8.
Tuition: $595 for 15 weeks

Group Beginning Instruction
For ages 6 through 12, students participate in a one-hour weekly lesson with peers. This class is an alternative to Individual Instruction in the first year of study and prepares students with the necessary musical knowledge to enter into Individual Instruction in their second year of study. In groups of six to eight students (four for piano), students learn to play an instrument in a supportive and dynamic environment that emphasizes technique, musicianship, note-reading and ensemble playing.
All students are strongly encouraged to enroll in Musicianship (music theory and ear training, age 9 and older) or Children’s Music Workshop (ages 3-9) as an important complement to their Individual or Group Beginning Instruction.
