We have begun offering on-line lessons for anyone in self isolation, or for those that are not comfortable venturing out at this time. We can do the lesson during your regular lesson day & time. In some cases we may be able to schedule lessons at another day & time. At the moment we can do this via FaceTime or Skype. If this is something you would like to try, get in touch and we can set-up a time to do a trial lesson. As per our previous announcement, Caledonia Music Centre continues to plan on teaching during March Break and thru the 2 week extension. Onsite lessons are held in the 3 larger lesson rooms where we can maintain a 2 metre distance between students and teachers.
