Individual Music Lesson Program

St. Mary’s Academy is pleased to continue our partnership program with the Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts (MCMA) for the 2023-2024 school year. This partnership delivers individual music lessons on campus for SMA students. By hosting MCMA instructors in our school, we are able to offer the highest standard of music lessons combined with convenience for students to attend music lessons in our building.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Individual lessons are available for voice, violin, contemporary (jazz, pop, improvisation) or classical piano, guitar, and ukulele from beginner to advanced levels. Other instruments may be added if there is interest, email info@mcma.ca with your request.
  • Lessons are scheduled in 30-minute intervals on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 3:45 to 6:15 PM.
  • Lessons run from September until June. No lessons during Christmas Break or Spring Break.
  • Lessons take place on St. Mary’s Academy campus delivered by the MCMA.
  • MCMA supports and encourages performances for students at recitals and in the community through their Music Equals program, the outreach arm of the MCMA. SMA students are invited to participate in their performance opportunities. To learn more, talk to your MCMA teacher or email Sarah at info@mcma.ca.
  • Registrations may be accepted throughout the academic year according to availability.

Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts will manage the registration process.
