Band and Jazz Class - In-person class limits
For our Fall in-person band and jazz classes, we are limiting registration to 25 people. Even when we reach this class limit, it will still be possible to join these classes as a remote participant.
Based on demand, there will be wait lists for oversubscribed bands. Wait-listed registrations will proceed if you are joining only remotely or, in specific cases, where we need to balance instrumentation.
Class registrations require that you have an account with NHBT and an active Membership
A membership enables you to then register for corresponding classes, each at their own cost.
Registration for classes requires purchase of an NHBT membership that is active for that period of time. We offer a range of membership levels and durations to match your interests.
Memberships only become active after your order for your chosen membership option has been completed i.e. paid.
Only classes that correspond to your active Membership appear for selection
Classes run for a defined period of time and are individually priced.
Class registrations only become active after your order for a chosen class has been completed i.e. paid.
- Full Memberships: access to all live-rehearsal (in-person or remote) and on-line Musicianship and Workshop classes with annual or single term options
- Quadmester Memberships: access to on-line Musicianship and Workshop classes ONLY with 4 quadmester options
If you don’t yet have an account with us, it will be created within the Checkout page and used immediately to compete your registration.
Unsure? – Your email address will be checked against our records and if you have an account, you will be asked to login at Checkout.
NHBT is proud to offer a rich selection of classes
See the Weekly Agenda under Registration Information for class schedules
In-Person / Remote Live Rehearsal Band or Jazz Classes are offered Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays
In-person band and jazz classes are capped at 25 members and some classes have limited instrumentation, so early registration is recommended.

We ask at the time of order – during the Checkout stage – if you will be using this remote option as our class lists and capacity reflect this. Options are: “no”, “sometimes”, or “always”.
“Always-remote” band members are in addition to our in-person class size limit. In-person members can also participate remotely on those occasions when you cannot get to our rehearsal location.

Anyone planning to attend in-person classes (members, guests, band directors) must be fully vaccinated: proof of vaccination is required. This requirement also extends to any person on the NHBT premises conducting business for NHBT or using the NHBT office space.
If an individual cannot be vaccinated due to valid medical reasons or is exempt on grounds protected by the Ontario Human Rights Code, an accommodation can be requested. To ensure the on-going health and safety of all participants, the accommodation that will be offered will be to participate in the class virtually. Virtual classes are available for all who are unable or unwilling to attend in-person classes.
Partially vaccinated individuals may still register for in-person classes with the assumption that they will be fully vaccinated within 4 weeks of the start of the program. They will be required to participate virtually until they are fully vaccinated.
Definitions:
In-Person Classes – a class where all participants (students, guests, band directors) are physically in the same band rehearsal space. This may be a music performance class or any other in-person class.
Fully Vaccinated – participant has received their second dose of a 2-dose vaccine series or 1 dose of an approved 1-dose vaccine. The participant has also observed the 2-week waiting period after vaccination during which time the body’s immune system mounts a full response to the vaccine. All vaccines must be Health Canada approved.
Partially Vaccinated – participant has only received their first dose of a 2-dose Health Canada approved vaccine.
Unvaccinated – individual has not received any doses of a Health Canada approved vaccine.
Proof of Vaccination – at this juncture, the Ministry of Health vaccination slip is the only valid proof of vaccination.
Approved by the Board – August 18, 2021
COVID-19 self-declaration is accomplished during the order checkout process.
You will be asked to declare your vaccination status.
This yes/no question appears under the Band Registration Details when your order includes a band or jazz class.
Those who intend to participate in-person for band or jazz class rehearsals must be fully vaccinated ~ see NHBT Vaccination Policy for definition.
You will be required to present documentation to verify this status at the beginning of your first in-person class.
Participation in concerts will depend on your status, health guidelines in effect for the setting and prevailing NHBT policy.
The following safety protocols will be in place effective September 1, 2021:
As per the In-Person Class Vaccination policy, all participants in in-person classes or on the premises for NHBT business must be fully vaccinated.
Bell covers on woodwind and brass instruments are mandatory. Participants must provide their own bell covers. We are currently investigating viable options for flutes.
Masks must be worn unless you are playing a woodwind and/or brass instrument. Masks can be removed only temporarily to drink during break and outside of rehearsal space.
Participants must provide their own cloths and ensure no “spit” is left behind on the floors or chairs.
Mandatory screening (questionnaire) prior to entering the NHBT premises will be required. Anyone failing the screening questionnaire will not be allowed access to the NHBT premises that day.
In the event someone does contract COVID, all classes will be cancelled for the week and a thorough cleaning of the building will take place. The impacted class will be presented in a virtual setting only for 2 weeks and all participants will be restricted entry to the NHBT premises during that time. Everyone in the impacted class must follow local public health guidelines regarding self-isolation and self-monitoring. Participants may return to class after 2 weeks assuming they are feeling well and do not exhibit any symptoms of COVID.
Participants who feel unwell for any reason must not attend any in-person classes or enter the NHBT premises: the classes can be attended virtually until the participants are well.
Air filtration units will be in operation during class and breaks to ensure adequate air exchange.
Chairs will be placed (and must be maintained) at 2 meters apart. Markings have been placed onthe floor.
Rehearsal space will be cleaned between classes. This includes wiping of door handles, high touch surfaces and chairs.
No beverages or snacks will be provided during breaks. Please do not bring or consume any food on the premises.
Teaching staff remaining on the premises for multiple classes in one day may eat and drink on the premises but must do so in the NHBT office by themselves. All other participants must leave the rehearsal space and move to the foyer by the double doors or exit the building.
Social distancing must be observed at all times. During break, access to the main door foyer has been granted to minimize congestion in the hall area by the rehearsal room.
Please be mindful of social distancing in the washrooms and in the NHBT office space.
As the office is no longer available to store instrument cases, small instrument cases (flute oboe, clarinet, trumpet) should be placed directly underneath the member’s chair, together with any bags or purses. There will be designated areas outside the band room for larger instrument cases.
Approved by the Board – August 18, 2021
Fees for classes reflect the break-even costs of operating NHBT which include a portion for class development and administration.
Our Code of Conduct helps us ensure a welcoming environment for all our band members. It is embedded below for ease of reference. All members are obliged to observe the elements of this code.
There are no refunds for online classes once confirmed.
You have the option of sharing your email address for the class lists that are in the password-protected members area of the website. Addresses and phone numbers are not shared.
You also have the option of letting us retain your contact information so that we can contact you about events and updates even if you are not currently playing in a band.
With your authorization, NHBT may use photos or videos that include you during rehearsals, events, and performances on the public portion of our website, on the social networking sites we administer, or similar public outreach. Photos and recordings from band events may also be posted inside the secure members area of the website.
NEW HORIZONS BAND OF TORONTO (By-Law Number 1, Appendix “A”)Members’ Code of Conduct
The following information is provided to inform members of their responsibilities as committed members of the New Horizons Band of Toronto. This policy and practices outlined applies to behaviour during large band classes, sectionals or small ensemble rehearsals, concerts social events, or any other gathering of members participating in and/or representing New Horizons Band of Toronto.
If a member behaves in an objectionable manner, creates disharmony with other band members or with teacher-conductors or coaches during any related New Horizons Band of Toronto activity, then that member’smembership in the New Horizons Band of Toronto may be revoked without remuneration. The Board of Directors will review such situations, on a case-by-case basis and if necessary, ensure that appropriate action is implemented; whether that be remediation or to revoke membership.
Attendance
In fairness to other band members and New Horizons Band of Toronto’s desire to produce high quality performances, please make every effort to attend all classes/rehearsals. Individuals who miss numerous practices prior to a concert are to speak to the teacher-conductor involved to get their approval to play in any upcoming concerts.
If a member must take a leave of absence or is otherwise unable to perform, they are to make best efforts to inform the teacher-conductor(s) of their absence in advance.
Class/Rehearsal Decorum
Please observe appropriate and respectful class/rehearsal decorum, giving the teacher-conductor your full attention and avoiding conversation which is distracting to others. Save conversation for the break. If you need help, ask the teacher-conductor. If you ask your neighbour for help, do so quietly and not while the teacher-conductor is talking.
Playing your instrument when the teacher-conductor has stopped conducting is discourteous to the teacher- conductor and to those around you.
You are asked to refrain from using personal electronic devices (i.e. cell phones, iPads, etc.) for communication and/or entertainment purposes during classes and/or rehearsals. If you must absolutely use these devices, you are asked to leave the classroom/studio to do so. This activity is a distraction to you and to those around you.
Concert Decorum
Please conduct yourself in an appropriate manner at all times while at the concert venue. Remember that the performance begins when the band or ensemble walks on the stage. The audience will judge your performance from this point until you leave the stage at the conclusion of the presentation.
Distracting behaviours such as talking and excessive body and foot movements should be kept to a minimum.
Members are expected do their fair share in assisting with any needed set-up before a concert and clean-up after a concert. This could be in the form of stacking chairs, taking down stands, returning music, loading trucks, etc.
Members are to adhere to the then current concert dress code.
Music Management
As well as your prime resource during a class/rehearsal or performance, sheet music represents a significant cost to the band. Because of this, it is important that you take full responsibility for any original sheet music entrusted to you.
All original sheet music must be returned by the end of each class. Original music should only leave the classroom/rehearsal space with the permission of the teacher-conductor and must be signed out. This also applies to original scores.
When original sheet music is entrusted to you, it is to be returned to the librarian or your teacher-conductor in the same condition as it was received (i.e. no permanent markings, no holes punched, no highlighter, no tears, etc.). If the music is not returned in acceptable condition, you may be charged a fee to replace that part.
Equipment Management
New Horizons Band of Toronto’s equipment (i.e. percussion, instruments, stands, sound, amps, accessories,social, etc.) represents another significant cost to the band. Because of this, it is important that you take full responsibility for any equipment that is entrusted to you; whether borrowed or used.
If you borrow New Horizons Band of Toronto’s equipment, an Equipment Management Form must be completedand approved by your teacher-conductor and submitted to the Asset Officer.
The equipment must be returned to the Asset Officer at the agreed upon time or as requested. Should the equipment not be returned in the same condition as it was when you signed it out, other than normal wear and tear, you may be charged for the repair or replacement of that equipment.

Those looking for in-person classes or just occasional remote will have this wait-listed registration order on hold (so put no other item in the order)
If there are in-person openings in a class after it has been wait-listed, these openings will be used to improve instrument balance
