University Settlement Music School — Music

My daughter has been attending the University Settlement Music School in Toronto for her weekly group music class for a few months now, and overall, it has been a positive experience. Her instructor, Sarah, is incredibly patient and really knows how to engage the kids. They have been learning to play the ukulele and work on basic music theory, which my daughter seems to enjoy. I appreciate the small group size as it allows for individual attention. However, I must mention that when we first arrived for our classes, the lines to check in were a bit long, which was somewhat frustrating, especially considering how excited my daughter was to start her lesson. Despite this minor annoyance, the supportive and inclusive environment has made it easier for her to feel comfortable and make friends. If you’re looking for a solid music program for your child, I would recommend this school, but do plan for extra time during the check-in process.

My daughter, who is quite shy, started taking music classes at University Settlement Music School in Toronto a few months ago. The small group size really helped her feel comfortable, and her instructor, Maria, has been incredibly patient and encouraging. They focus on a variety of music styles, and my daughter has already learned to play a few simple songs on the ukulele, which she is really proud of. The only downside was the long lines during pickup on Wednesdays, which can get a bit chaotic with all the kids leaving at once. But overall, the inclusive environment made it easy for her to connect with other kids. I’d recommend it for parents looking for a supportive music program—just plan for some extra time when arriving to pick up your child.
