➣ Summer Program: |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
It is about getting a better level of skill, achieving more …or just having fun and enjoying playing and making music some day… But how one gets there? Continuous study of music/musical instrument is essential for improving and further developing skills and reaching the freedom and enjoyment of music. Continuous lessons in the summer: While many families like to “take a break in the summer”, it is the reality that all students that do “take a break’ will spend the first few months of the next year catching up the lost technique, reading skills; pieces learned do fade, etc. We suggest you consider our Summer Lesson Program since the summer months offer plenty of leisure time, it is the time of the year that makes students enjoy music without the worry and/or pressure of homework and other school activities. So, we encourage students to enroll in our Summer Program: Choose the affordable package that best suits you. We offer 4-, 6-, 8- or 16-lessons packages. All lessons are 45 min long, at cost starting from $120. |
