Pre-Registration

PRE-REGISTRATION

Save money and get exclusive access to priority scheduling for the 2026/2027 school year

Pre-Registration is SUPER important as it allows our current Orrett Students to save money and get exclusive access to scheduling for next year by keeping their same spot, getting priority for changes, and even adding new instruments and classes.

WHAT IS PRE-REGISTRATION?

Pre-registration is for current students only and provides the opportunity to reserve your spot for the September 2026 school year and is where you get to make priority requests for changes to day/time/lesson length/instrument/teacher/new instruments, etc.. It also keeps your “registered” status, which has many benefits, including being exempt from a registration fee per student to re-register in the fall.

The process happens by filling out a form online. On the form, you will be given a choice to be guaranteed your same spot or given first priority for changes. A deposit of $160 per private spot ($60 per group spot) is required. This deposit comes off your per lesson fees for next year.

Existing students pre-register BEFORE new students get a chance to enroll.

WHEN IS PRE-REGISTRATION?

Pre-registration is open from Thursday, May 8th, 2026 @ 12:00pm to Thursday, May 28th, 2026 @ 12:00pm.

Be sure to pre-register within this window to ensure you can keep your spot for next year or to be considered in the first round of priority requests for changes.

ORRETT’S GUARANTEES

For your added peace of mind

SCHEDULING GUARANTEE: If Orrett Music Academy is not able to honour your private lesson day & time request outlined in the form the $160/private lesson deposit will be refunded.

NEW LESSON GUARANTEE: If trying a new instrument, class, or teacher and a student is not completely satisfied after their 1st lesson in September, please contact us within 48h hours. At that time we will work with you to find an ideal solution for the student. If we are unable to do so, Orrett Music academy will provide a FULL refund of your deposit AND any lesson fees that have been charged to that point.

**To qualify for the New Lesson Guarantee, you must attend your first lesson**

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY TEACHER IS TEACHING?

Generally, teachers keep the same schedule in the fall. However, some teachers are changing their schedules for next year.

Below will be an image that lists their expected schedule in the fall. The registration page will also have this image. Please refer to it to help you choose scheduling options should you wish to make a change and/or to ensure your teacher is still working on your current lesson day in the fall.

Please note that as we continue to expand, we are in the process of hiring excellent new teachers, who you can trust to be as great as our existing staff should you need different scheduling options come fall.

I HAVE ANOTHER CHILD WHO WISHES TO JOIN. WHAT SHOULD I DO?

Wonderful! The form will give you an opportunity to request spots for them. Existing students get first scheduling priority, but siblings get second priority before new students.

TIP – The spring is a perfect time to try something new. Take advantage of a discounted trial with us, and if you register a sibling (just for May and June) before the end of pre-registration, they will get priority just like other registered students.

I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WANT TO JOIN. CAN THEY PRE-REGISTER?

Unfortunately not, as pre-registration is designed just for you wonderful existing students to ensure YOU get all our best spots.

Having said that, PLEASE do tell them to contact us, or tell us about them in the form and we will contact them. New students may register first-come, first served when the pre-registration form closes. An online form for NEW students will be available on our website.
