Benefits of 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!
