A Standing Ovation for Our Students

The Benefits of Summer Music Lessons and Camps Extend Beyond the Break

School is winding down, and soon schedules will change. Whether your kid has a full summer of travel and camps, or you have very little planned for them, one of the best gifts you can give Future You is keeping your child enrolled in lessons this summer.

School teachers can attest, the "summer slide" is real, and music teachers will tell you the same thing. Your student won't lose all of the progress they made this last year over two months, but there will likely be some progress lost—and of course, nothing gained—if they don't continue their lessons.

But perhaps the best reason for continuing lessons over the summer months is the continuity it will give your family for the coming school year. Having a certain amount of things scheduled over the break can make the transition back to school smoother for everyone—and will keep your student's brain still primed for learning when school returns. 

Summer is also a great time to switch things up for your child. Maybe there's an instrument they've always wanted to try, or maybe they'd like to add on voice lessons. Perhaps you'd like to see how a longer lesson would help their progression—no better time to test that than summer!

If your teacher hasn't already, they will be reaching out to talk about summer schedules. We will continue billing as-is over the summer unless you tell us that you won't be taking at least eight lessons in the 10-week summer, so talk to your child's teacher about how to make summer lessons work for your family's schedule!
