There are some, due to financial constraints, who may opt to take music classes such as our beginner guitar class as their primary method of learning an instrument or musical subject. If this is the case, please keep in mind that although every effort is taken to ensure that our music classes are taught at the highest standard possible, a classroom setting cannot compare to a private one on one music lesson as the instructor’s attention in a class is spread out over a number of people. For those that complete our beginner guitar class for example, we strongly recommend that you consider taking individual lessons moving forward to ensure you can build on the progress you made in the course. We have nearly 40 private music instructors specializing in every major musical instrument and music skill.
Our music courses prioritize your experience and learning needs as a student. This is why we limit our class sizes to 7 students, allowing us to deliver a higher quality of musical education experience when compared to other music courses taught by other institutions. After teaching thousands of courses, we have found that a low student to teacher ratio enables each student to get the most out of their educational experience and meet their learning goals while creating lasting connections in an intimate and supportive environment.
Most of our music courses range in cost based on the number of instructors, the length of the class and the number of students in each class. Each music class is generally 1 hour in length and continues on a weekly basis for 8 or more weeks. If you are a full-time Toronto Guitar School student taking private individual lessons at our school, you will qualify for a special discount on most of our music courses.
As we are announcing new Workshops and Courses all the time please refer to this page often and consider adding yourself to our monthly newsletter. Below you will find a list of all the music courses that are currently being offered. If you are interested in attending any of these music courses please email the school office at admin@mintmusic.ca and we can provide more details along with costs associated and if there is still room in this class for you to join.
Although our RockBand and Ensemble could be considered a type of Music Course this program has its own page and all the information on how it works and what it costs can be found here.
