Confirm the location you would like to book lessons out of (SW location in Marda Loop or NW location in North Haven. Online lessons are available from both).
Choose what type of summer lesson you would like to book (which instrument and lesson length) and you will be given several booking options for teacher, day & time based on your selection. Instructors update their availability on a weekly basis and availability is subject to change. We recommend booking only 2 weeks in advance.

Make the Most of Virtual Lessons
Your teacher will discuss with you which virtual platform works best.
Here are a few helpful tips to make the most of your online music lessons:
Find a quiet spot in your home to have your lesson free of distractions. Some students may need earbuds if they are learning in noisy environments.
A great internet connection! The faster the upload and download speed the better your feed will be.
A computer, phone or tablet.
A notebook and a pen or pencil.
An instrument (If you need to rent an instrument, please ask our administrator for recommendations).
Benefits of taking Summer Lessons:
1. Remain on top of your game! Studies show that even a small number of lessons during the summer months will ensure that students retain their skills and knowledge. Students who do not continue their musical studies in the summer spend up to two months in the fall reviewing previously learned material.
2. Advance quickly! With no school and homework, a student's rate of progress increases in the summer months, allowing for the development of new skills and enhanced artistry.
3. Get started! Summer is a great time for new students to begin. Students can gain comfort with their instruments, develop a relationship with their instructor, and build a strong musical foundation for enjoyment and success.
4. Self express through music! The summer offers a more relaxed environment where students are more free to be creative and expressive with their music. Students can experiment with trying a new instrument, a new instructor, or a new style of music!
