FAQ:

What kind of events can I collect a stamp towards my stamp card?
– There are many events that qualify for our Event Participation Rewards Program. These events are mainly sign-up events that are open to all students in the school. Please check details at the time of sign-up if the event is eligible for a stamp. Some of the events that are eligible include:
o Sign-up Recitals
o Jam Nite
o Workshops
o Keymaster Sessions
o Concerts
o Sign-up Masterclasses
o Theme week events
o Studiofest
o Adult Performance Opportunities
o Online sign-up events

Why are certain events eligible while others are not?
– Some programs have events that are already included in their tuition such as the Group Piano program, Enriched/Maestro program and Band Chops program. These events are not eligible for a stamp. The event stamp card is only available for sign-up programs that are open to all students in the school outside of your lessons program (Therefore year-end recitals are not included in the list of events eligible for a stamp). Events like the MSM Competitive Festival already have its own rewards and scholarship opportunities and is therefore not eligible for an event stamp. Please check details at sign-up as some info sessions and special events may be excluded from the event participation rewards program.

How many events do I have to participate in before I can start redeeming rewards?
– Students need to collect 10 stamps at 10 different eligible events in order to redeem a reward. You can pick and choose the events you want to participate in. The more you participate, the faster you will be able to redeem your reward.

What kind of rewards can I earn?
– Students that collect 10 stamps can redeem either a $50 gift certificate to the online bookstore or can get $50 off their lesson tuition for the next school year. You must be enrolled with the school in order to redeem your reward.

How often can I redeem a reward?
– Students are allowed to redeem one reward per school year. Once they trade in their card for a reward, they can start collecting stamps right away but will not be able to redeem their prize until the next school year.

How do I collect my stamps if I attend an online event?
– Online events will receive a virtual stamp in their email when the online link is emailed to them. You can either show your confirmation email to the front desk to receive a stamp on your stamp card or you can just save your confirmation emails as proof. Here is an example of an online stamp:

Can I get multiple stamps if I perform more than once in a recital?
– Only one stamp can be collected per event. Therefore, students that perform more than once in a sign-up recital will only receive one stamp on their card.

I forgot to bring my card to the event. Can I still get a stamp afterwards?
– No stamps will be given out after the event. Please make sure to remember your stamp card to each event that you participate in.

How can I redeem my reward?
– You can take your stamp card to the Oakville or Vaughan front desk to redeem your prize. If you ask for a $50 gift card to the book store, a gift card code will be given to you. If you ask for $50 off your tuition, your card will be collected and applied to your tuition payment in the summer for the next school year.

Why can’t I redeem more than once a year?
– Redeeming rewards once a year will ensure equal fairness for all students that want to participate in our most popular events.

Can I get an event stamp card if I participate in an event in the Toronto Campus?
– Event Stamp Cards will be available for Toronto students at onsite recitals. All other online events for Toronto students will receive an online stamp with their confirmation/reminder email. Stamps can only be redeemed at onsite recitals. The first onsite recital in Toronto will be in December. You can pick-up your Event Card then.
