Are Online Music Lessons Equivalent To In-Person Music Lessons?
As times change and technology quickly advances, we have seen a vast difference in the world of sales and services and how they are offered and provided to customers. With this advancing online market, customers, teachers and retailers alike have found themselves asking the same question: are online lessons equivalant to in-person lessons? Music, with its intricacies of expression and technique, presents a unique case for exploration in the realm of remote learning. How convenient is too convenient, and can we get to a point where we sacrifice quality for flexibility?
Established in 2002, The Octave Music Centre Inc. located in Guelph Ontario strives to achieve excellence in both music education and instrument sales.

Enrolling In Our School
As a member of The Octave Music Centre‘s academy you have access to our wonderful annual recitals at the Guelph Youth Music Centre.
We typically hold four recitals a year, the soonest one being our Halloween recital, followed by our holiday recital, our Red Carpet recital in March, and our end of year recital in June.
Lessons are $120 a month and, for your convenience, invoices are automatically sent out to you on the first of every month.
Our lessons are tuition based, which means you are paying monthly toward a balance that is equivalent to the number of lessons you’ll end up receiving by the end of the school semester, in June. Our school term typically beings in September and runs until the end of June. If you are beginning your enrolment later on in the school term, your overall tuition amount will be reduced by beginning your payments in the month that you start lessons.
When monthly payments are missed, we do allow a week for the payment to be made, but beyond that there is a risk that the student will lose their spot on the schedule. We offer a reliable auto-pay option for our students. Our system is able to safely and securely store your card information to automatically generate the payments each month. This ensures that your student never misses a lesson.
Each student and parent has access to our Online Portal, where you can see your lesson times, notes from your teacher, and so much more.
You will also receive a welcome package with more detailed information, including recitals, our referral program, a school calendar and our studio and student policies.
