Our SUMMER semester includes 10 private lessons spaced throughout the summer months to accommodate student vacation schedules. Summer is a great time to begin music lessons as it is relaxed with less school work and more time for students to engage during the days with their music making.
Students will be motivated by sharing their music at a casual final recital at the end of the summer where they can invite friends and family to hear what they’ve accomplished!
Beginning 5 to 6 year-olds will have a great time starting their musical journey in a motivating group keyboard class filled with fun activities, beginning note reading, and an exploration of the creative world of sound and rhythm. ALL MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED IN THIS SPECIAL OFFER. Limit 6 students.

The curriculum of the RCM Certificate Program provides a comprehensive foundation and a sense of personal accomplishment upon reaching goals. College admissions departments will look at consistent achievement in a measurable, leveled program. Everyone needs a goal to be motivated whether a child or adult.
Students wishing to excel in their instrument at a professional level are invited by teacher recommendation to join our Amadeus Institute for Young Musicians Division. These select performers will have the opportunity to perform in masterclasses for visiting guest artists, participate in competitions, and hone their craft to a high level of achievement.
We take our music to the community in outreach concerts at nursing homes, hospitals, and schools. Adults and children alike experience personal satisfaction when giving back to the community through service work as they volunteer their time and talents. National Honor Society community service hours are available.
