Tuition Fees, Practical Instruction Fees, and Lesson Quotas
The typical annual tuition fee for a Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) or Licentiate in Music (L.Mus.) student can be found on the Student Accounts website.
B.Mus. and L.Mus. students who are registered in practical instruction (MUIN courses) have Music Private Lesson Fee added to the regular per-credit tuition fee rate. The current fee rate for the Music Private Lesson Fee is found in Schulich School of Music fees. When a student is registered for practical instruction, such as MUIN 180 (3 credits), they will be billed the per-credit tuition fee rate for 3 credits plus the Music Private Lesson Fee for one semester of private lessons, which equates to 13 weeks of 1-hour private instruction with the instrumental or vocal teacher.
Each music program has a practical instruction quota for different student categories. See Table 1: Practical Instruction Quota for detail. Students may request an additional year of practical instruction in addition to the required practical instruction in their program. This additional year of practical instruction can be taken as elective lessons (MUIN 110, MUIN 111) and may be used to fulfill the elective requirements in a B.Mus. program. Elective lessons are optional and are billed the same way as required practical instruction in a program. More information on elective lessons is found on Schulich School of Music Electives website.
Students may request a second year of elective lessons (MUIN 210, MUIN 211) beyond the program鈥檚 practical instruction quota by permission of the Department of Performance. Practical instruction taken above the program鈥檚 practical instruction quota will be subject to a post-quota Music Supplemental Private Lesson Fee in addition to the regular fees associated with practical instruction.
