REGISTRATION FOR 2022/23 IS OPEN

ONLINE REGISTRATION: To register please fill out the form below. The 2022/23 season will begin the second week of September. The winter sessions begin the second week of January. Only registered and paid students can participate in our sessions. Late registration is still possible during the year, depending on your previous experience and at the discretion of our instructors.

RENTAL INSTRUMENT PICK-UP: To coordinate a rental instrument pick-up please contact us at aryostrings@gmail.com.

FEES: The ARYO instruction and orchestral program fee is $200 per student (20 instruction weeks per year, September-April), with a family rate if more than one child from the same family is enrolled:

1st family member: full program fee $ 200

2nd family member: 10% reduction $ 180

3rd and more family members: 20% reduction $160

Per term fee: $110 (family rates still apply)

The Fiddle Group fee is $125 per year (or per term $67.50).

Acadia students are welcome to join in with our ensembles for a fee of $25 per term.

Payment may be made by cheque, cash or e-transfer. We will coordinate with you, and give you the payment information, once your registration has been acknowledged by email and we have sent you your total amount due.

INSTRUMENT RENTAL: Students may rent instruments from ARYO, all in reasonably good condition, on a first-come first-serve basis with regard to availability, at a preferred rate of only $100 for violins and violas and $150 for cellos plus $50 security deposit, due upon pick up. Rentals run September-April and may be extended through the summer for an additional cost of $50. ARYO now has a double bass which will stay at Festival Theatre and can be used for rehearsals and concerts. Students interested in bass can check with their school for a practice instrument or arrange a rental through Long and McQuade.

Please note: Payment is due by the first class in order for students to participate. Cancellations (first term only): If a student cancels by the end of the first month, program fees will be reimbursed, less 50% of first term registration fee (effectively 25% of yearly fee). Non-return of instruments will result in an invoice being sent for the replacement cost of the value of the instrument.
