We are fortunate enough to run lessons out of our residence which is kept very clean by our Directors. Each lesson room is cleaned daily and instruments are regularly wiped down. We offer hand sanitizer upon entry into the home and have several hand washing areas available to all clients. Also, due to the size of our facility, we do not normally have large gatherings of clients at one time

Yes. We offer lessons both in person and online through zoom at the same rate.

What do I need for online lessons?

To best set the lesson up for success, online students need a decent internet connection and a computer with a camera and microphone so that your teacher can see and hear you during the lesson. The use of headphones and external microphone may also be advisable as well as additional supplies to take notes during the lesson.

CSM is open year-round. We usually close around the Holidays and for certain national holidays. Students are informed in advance of any scheduled closure. Monthly tuition is based on a 48-week year, which averages out at four lessons per month. In shorter months, you will receive three lessons and in longer months, five.

For any lessons missed by a teacher, Carefree School of Music will attempt to provide a substitute teacher or a make-up lesson. Students/parents are obliged to give 24 hours’ notice in the case of a cancellation. If a student cancels less than 24 hours prior to the lesson for any reason, we may not be able to reschedule the lesson.

We ask that if you need to cancel lessons for any reason that written notice is given by the 15th of your last full month of lessons.

We have our wonderful group class for young musicians called Rhythm & Tots for ages 3-5. We also hold group master classes on topics such as Voice, Music Theory and Performance. Those are scheduled based on sign up attendance throughout the year.

Rhythm & Tots is a group class for little ones aged between 3 and 5. It is a fun and upbeat introduction to musical instruments, rhythm, and reading musical notes, and features many fun activities including singing, dancing, playing all kinds of instruments, and musically-related arts and crafts. Rhythm & Tots gives young kids a solid musical foundation setting up the transition into one-on-one instrumental lessons for success.

Throughout the year CSM has 2 regularly scheduled school wide recitals and other performances opportunities throughout the year at local venues that are scheduled quarterly. We also have a quarterly ‘Student Spotlight’ series to feature individual students’ achievements. The chosen student will perform a piece of music of their choice and feature in an interview that will be featured on our website and social media accounts.

It’s fantastic when parents choose to enroll one or more family members in music lessons. Although we can’t offer a monthly discount on tuition, we do offer each family member a free trial lesson and we reduce the registration fee for each additional family member that signs up.
