On Friday, 26 October, Mount Allison will be holding a University-wide Open House. The Music Department will be joining other Departments in making information available to prospective students that day.

Then, on Friday, 2 November, the Music Department, will be holding its very own Open House for prospective students! This is a great opportunity for you (and your parents!) to visit the Music Department. We'll have special information sessions on studying music at Mount Allison, tours of the Music Conservatory, performances, an open class, lessons, and rehearsals. If you arrange it ahead of time, you can even have a short private lesson with one of our accomplished faculty!

If you plan to attend the Music Department Open House -- and especially if you would like a mini-lesson on your instrument -- please contact us.

Note: if you cannot visit us on Open House day, we'll welcome you at any other time as well; simply let us and the University's Admissions Office know ahead of time that you would like to visit.
