Our Summer Session
We will be keeping up with our "Chills & Trills" theme this summer while customizing lessons for each student based on their skills and goals. Every student will work on theory and technique (the building blocks for continued advancement) while also exploring their unique interests. Remember, success takes a TUNDRA of practice, but together WOLF figure it out! Let's ORCAstrate a plan and have an exSEALent summer!
Why is it important to take summer piano lessons?
Time
Students have more free time in the summer. During the school year, they have limited time for piano practice due to homework constraints.
Focus
Summer distractions are minimal, allowing for more focus on music instead of thinking about homework, projects or tests.
Development
Summer lessons increase creativity. Students have time to explore different musical styles and focus on specific skill-based projects, like composition.
Progress
Students keep moving forward. Piano progress is a lot like physical fitness. If you take the summer off, you lose what you did not use. This re-learning process can be very frustrating, but thankfully, it's avoidable.
Health
Piano playing provides a healthy alternative to "screen time." Piano lessons provide a schedule break from video games, phones and television.
Fun
Every child deserves the lifelong benefits and joys that come from music, especially the foundation of all instruments—the piano. My summer program offers a variety of fun choices for students!
Reserving Your Spot
Palmer Piano Studio policy is that students must take a minimum of 6 thirty-minute lessons or 4 forty-five minute lessons throughout the summer to reserve their spot for fall.
Getting Ahead
Summer is a great time for starting new students. It puts them ahead of the curve for fall lessons instead of waiting and adding one more new thing to a new school year.
Flexible Scheduling
Summer scheduling is easy. Done entirely online, each lesson is individually scheduled so you can pick and choose what works for your family, week by week.
Tuition and Scheduling
Lesson will begin Monday, June 17th and end Friday, August 23rd.
*Remember, all students must take a minimum of 6 thirty-minute lessons or 4 forty-five minute lessons throughout the summer to reserve their spot for fall.*
