Elementary Band and Strings Program – Registration Open 

The Elementary Band and Strings Program has been a vibrant part of North Vancouver schools for many years and continues to inspire instrumental music learning, teamwork and creativity in elementary-age students. The program complements the BC Ministry of Education’s Arts Education curriculum and provides school-based instrumental instruction to students in the intermediate grades (Grades 5 – 7 for Band and Grades 4 – 7 for Strings). There are two options for registering for the 2021/22 Elementary Band and Strings program:  January 15 – March 5. Fee: $470 (same price as 2020/21). This fee can be paid with a monthly installment plan until September 1.  Late Registration: March 15 – September 30. Fee: $545. No monthly installment plan available.

Important:  

Registering by March 5 allows us to plan for programming and staffing. Low registration numbers may result in program cancellations at schools. 

Late Registration may not be available and will be based on program availability at your school site and class size. 

You may withdraw your child from the program and receive a full refund up to June 15. After this date, a $75 fee will be charged.
