Music theory lessons
The Manitoba Conservatory of Music & Arts is Manitoba’s premier house for advanced music theory instruction. Our downtown Winnipeg music school offers private music theory lessons for children and teenagers to adults of all skill levels. From beginner music students to those seeking advanced instruction. Our highly-qualified faculty members teach everything from the fundamentals to more advanced theory. Every one of our music theory instructors is highly qualified to teach. A majority hold Bachelor degrees, many possess Masters degrees and some have earned Doctorate degrees. Our music theory instructors consider themselves musicians and teachers — professional artists who teach. Our music theory teachers offer customized learning plans tailored to each student’s goals and skill level, to help them advance faster and further. Meet with our faculty before registering for private instruction to find the right instructor for you and ensure the best learning experience possible.
Our student/instructor matching service
The student/instructor combination is crucial to a student’s learning, achieving and enjoyment of their musical experience, so it’s important to make the best match possible. That’s why our process includes an assessment of the students’ skills to match them with a faculty member for a free consultation.

Choosing your instrument
Individual instruction is available for virtually every genre and instrument, including piano, violin, viola, cello, double bass, fiddling, voice, guitar, ukulele, drum kit, percussion, saxophone, flute, piccolo, clarinet, recorder, french horn, trumpet, harmonica, accordion and mandolin. If we don’t have an accredited instructor for the instrument you wish to study, we will seek to find one for you.
Fees
Instructor rates vary depending on the academic credentials and teaching experience of each instructor. 30 minute music lessons range from $25–$35 per lesson, 45 minute lessons from $37.50–$52.50 per lesson and 60 minute lessons from $50–$70 per lesson. All music theory lessons are weekly, unless otherwise specified.
We offer flexible lesson times. Beginner students seeking private music theory lessons generally start with a half hour lesson once a week. Once a student’s skill level has moved up to an intermediate level, music theory lesson times usually increase to 45 minutes once a week. Students with a high level of commitment who have progressed to advanced repertoire increase their music theory lesson time to one hour per week.
