Private lessons continue throughout the summer

Your child's school year will end in June, but here at Community Music School, lessons can continue throughout the summer. Most of our instructors teach at least part time during the summer, offering a day or two each week. If your teacher isn't available, it's ok to have lessons with one of their colleagues. Some teachers offer morning timeslots rather than their "normal" times.
We know that you require a little more schedule flexibility in July and August to accommodate vacations, visiting relatives and summer camp. Once you have an idea of your summer plans, call the CMS office with a list of the weeks you'd like to arrange lessons, and we'll set them up. Your summer timeslot can be different from the one you've had during the school year. You may schedule as few as one lesson or as many as eight. There's one caveat, though -- if you later need to cancel a lesson you've arranged, we need a week's notice during the summer, or you will be charged for the lesson. We can try to give you a different timeslot, though.
Students often take 45-minute lessons in the summer since they have the luxury of a little more available free time. For some students, summer actually provides more time than usual to practice! Summer's also a great time to try a new instrument, or to start a young child to judge their readiness for private lessons.
Don't wait until the last day of school to start thinking about signing up though -- all of the timeslots are "first come, first served". Give us a call!
