In order to take lessons at the Ottawa Folklore Centre, membership is required. Memberships are “per person” and are valid for life. Members’ benefits include store discounts at the Folklore Centre, discounts for workshops and other ongoing bonuses. Please note that memberships are available at any time, to anybody; you need not take lessons to benefit from a membership! Members currently taking lessons receive 20% off books and cases, 10% off accessories and 5% off CDs. Alumni (members not currently taking lessons) receive 5% off books, CDs, cases and accessories.

All registration deadlines are two days before the start of the course. Registration is final with absolutely no refunds; the exception being a course that is cancelled due to low enrollment. When you’re ready to sign up, call the school desk after 2pm during the week, 9:30am-5pm on Saturday, or 12pm -5pm Sunday at 613-730-2887 ext 3, or stop by the store anytime.
