Let’s Learn Something New

Simple Life Hack

Sew together red, white and blue bandanas to create a patriotic tablecloth or pillowcase to decorate for 4th of July.

Did You Know?

1. The 4th of July was not considered a holiday until 1938.

2. Fireworks were invented 2000 years ago by the Chinese. Colorful fireworks were invented by the Italians.

3. Blue fireworks are the hardest to produce, which is why blue colored fireworks are not as vivid as other colors.

Quote Of The Month

“Every dream begins with a dreamer.

Always remember, you have within you the strength,

Summer at the Academy

 

Summer is just around the corner! Since consistency is key to learning, the Academy will continue to serve all students during the summer months.

Various activities are planned such as our annual Summer Recital in July, our Summer Music Camps, and the continuation of our Themed Months.

 

Benefits of Continuing Lessons Through the Summer

1. Students won’t forget or lose what they have worked so hard to learn. Often, when students return after having a summer break from lessons, they quickly become discouraged and frustrated because a lot of their hard-earned work was lost due to not practicing or maintaining growth.

2. The Academy is flexible when it comes to scheduling through the summer. We understand all the busy scheduling of summer events so if you cannot make it to your current time-slot during the summer, we will do our best to work with you.

3. Once Fall comes around, lessons are first come first serve. All students continuing lessons through the summer months have priority for the Fall scheduling with their same teacher. Please note: with the Academy growing it will be difficult to guarantee certain time slots with certain teachers for returning students in the Fall.

4. We will offer two Masterclasses a month during the Summer to make-up any missed lessons so everyone has a chance to keep the momentum going!

 

SUMMER MUSIC CAMPS

Total immersion into a subject, with a teacher and a group of friends, is the quickest way to learn anything! The Academy is offering two summer music camps this year!
