When a child reaches an age at which he/she can focus for a longer time and can apply this towards practicing regularly, then they are considered ready for music lessons. The parents are responsible for evaluating whether their child is prepared or not as the age can vary since each child is unique and develops at their own pace. Before this milestone occurs, it is found that children shall benefit initially from preparatory music classes where they have more physical freedom and can enjoy learning through playful movements and songs.
Often, an excellent place to begin is with an instrument that the child has already expressed an interest in. Most instruments, aside from piano, can be altered for the student’s size. These include the violin, cello, and guitar. Our teachers are happy to guide parents and students in purchasing or renting the appropriate instrument.

Cost of lessons: ranges from $58-$75 per half-hour depending on the teacher and are pro-rated for 45 min and 60 min sessions accordingly. Lessons are subject to an annual registration fee.
The tuition is paid in advance for the academic year either in full or in three payments due in September, December and April. The registration fee is due at the time of registration each year for both new and returning students.
Students are encouraged to prepare for recitals, which are held twice a year, in December and in June. These opportunities greatly enhance and develop performance skills and allow students share their artistic vision with others.
Both our student and Faculty recitals will take place in the Heliconian Hall, located at 35 Hazelton Ave. “Stay tuned” for the dates for upcoming concerts.
The Royal Conservatory curriculum requires any student who desires to pursue Grade 5 instrumental studies, and higher levels take co-requisite written courses to expand their practical knowledge. Successful completion of theory examinations along with the appropriate instrumental exams is accepted as credits towards secondary school graduation diplomas.

NTIM is a wonderful community of teachers aiming to help children grow through music. My son has been taking violin lessons at NTIM for almost 10 years. Over and above the deep musical expertise, there is also a very collaborative approach to ensure he is engaged and enjoying his musical experience.
