Developing a long term love for music is one of our greatest passions, so we make it easy to stay enrolled year-round. We only ask you to re-enroll in your preferred class or lesson time for the summer and next school year, since many families’ schedules change during these seasons.
The learning continues as your child grows and graduates into each new class level when the time is right!
The studio is closed for a few holiday breaks throughout the year, typically coinciding with major holidays and school breaks. See our studio calendar for this year’s holiday breaks.
