McGill Conservatory Conservatoire de McGill
Founded in 1904 by Clara Lichtenstein as the McGill Conservatorium, the McGill Conservatory is proud of its long and established history of providing quality music education to both the McGill University and Montreal communities. The McGill Conservatory is the Community Program of the Schulich School of Music of McGill University and offers music lessons for all ages and abilities.
A Musical Tradition. The main focus of instruction at the McGill Conservatory is on classical music. However, we offer instrumental and theoretical instruction in all styles including jazz and popular music. Students enrolled at the McGill Conservatory come from the Montreal region, or are currently studying at McGill University in other degree programs. With a view to serve both these constituencies, the McGill Conservatory has two locations: downtown in the Strathcona Music Building of the Schulich School of Music and in the West-Island at Macdonald Campus, Ste-Anne-de-Bellevue.
Teaching Staff. Our students benefit from a highly qualified and dedicated teaching staff, many of whom continue to perform actively.
Language of Instruction. Practical lessons in most instruments and ensemble coaching are offered in both English and French. Theory and Ear Training courses are taught in English, with bilingual support from instructors. Examinations are offered in both English and French.

Little Musicians, Orff Method, & Ukulele
Little Musicians 3 to 6 years old
These classes are designed to be child-centered and developmentally-appropriate. Children are encouraged to explore their inherent musicality while developing the necessary skills for entrance into private musical studies. Class sizes are small to ensure that children receive the maximum benefit of individual attention while working within a motivating group environment.
Orff Method 6 to 8 years old
These classes are designed to develop the necessary skills in preparation for and / or complement instrumental lessons. Children are encouraged through the natural sense of play to be active participants in music-making, while developing listening skills, in-tune singing, beat and rhythmic comprehension, and basic musical concept knowledge.
Ukulele Group Class 6 to 8 years old
The Ukulele Group Class is a great way to introduce your child to instrumental lessons while working within a motivating group environment. Each lesson will involve the learning of playing techniques, group and solo playing, quiet practicing, and singing. Some principles of music notation also are introduced. The ukulele is ideal for small hands and for beginners who may consider further studies in the guitar.

Suzuki Method
What is it?
The Suzuki method was developed in Japan more than 50 years ago by Dr. Shinichi Suzuki. Based on a philosophy of respect for the child, this method holds that talent is not inherited and that the potential of every child is unlimited. Dr. Suzuki believed that children are capable of developing their musical abilities in the same way they develop their linguistic abilities.
How does it work?
It is important that the child starts as young as possible. One parent must accept the responsibility of attending lessons. The children learn naturally at their own rate of development. Music reading is delayed until the child's aural and technical skills are well established, after which it is carefully integrated into the child's curriculum. Every child has individual as well as group lessons.
