How to submit your practical instruction teacher request
Submit a practical instruction request form by May 15, 2024
- If you miss the deadline, submit the form anyway in order for your teacher to be assigned. A $50 late fee will be charged to your tuition account.
- When filling out the online form:
- Use your official 海角社区 email address (@mail.mcgill.ca).
- Check your information carefully prior to submitting your request.聽If changes are needed after your request has been submitted, e-mail:聽teacherpreference.music [at] mcgill.ca
- Select the number of terms of lessons you are requesting.聽 First-year students usually select both fall and winter terms since teacher assignments are done for the academic year.聽 Returning students who wish to be assigned different teachers for fall and winter semesters must submit two separate online requests.
- Indicate up to three teacher preferences from the teaching staff list on the form. You must study with a Schulich School of Music teacher.聽 We cannot guarantee your first choice of teacher.聽 If you have no preference, select "No Teacher Preference" as your 1st choice.
Practical instruction registration
- You do not register directly for practical instruction.
- Once you submit the practical instruction request form by May 15, 2024, the Department of Performance selects your teacher and registers you by the first week of September.聽Each teacher is assigned a specific MUIN section number. You can view your teacher assignment in the student menu (click on Registration Menu, then Step 4:聽View Student Schedule by Course Section).
