Summer Musicianship Classes Begin on May 24

In this unique summer music experience, students will build musicianship skills and connect with other students in fun, interactive activities inspired by our most popular summer camps! Summer Musicianship is an opportunity for students to use their extra time during the summer break to complete exciting projects, such as virtual ensembles and original compositions, that are professionally edited for sharing with friends and family. Online classes mean that students can attend class from anywhere, even while on vacation!

Classes are 45-minutes and meet once a week from May 24 through August 15. Each class level is tailored to the student's age and experience. Current students' schedules will remain the same, and students will advance to the next Musicianship level with the start of the summer semester.

New students may sign up by contacting our front desk HERE.
