Make the Most of Your Summer with Music! Summer is the perfect time to move along your musical journey, learn a second instrument, or even start your musical journey! If you finished 4th grade and want to get a head start on band, or a (completed) 5th through 12th grade student looking to start band these lessons can help you be successful.

To make your search for the perfect time and date easier, you can filter your search to specific times, dates or days of the week. That will limit your results to best fit your family's needs, and make your enrollment process easier! The better you play, the more enjoyable music becomes. With personalized one-on-one instruction, summer lessons are the perfect way to take your playing to the next level!
