Our Programs
-
Summer Band
Though designed for rising 6th through 12th grade students, we also welcome adults into this community style band that will practice weekly for 8 weeks over the summer culminating with a performance. For students it is a chance to keep the skills they’ve been learning in school sharp, and pick up a few more tools to bring back to school. For adult musicians, it is a chance to share your knowledge and skills with the next generation of musicians. Repertoire will be chosen based on the enrolled instrumentation and skill levels of the band.
-

Summer Small-Group Lessons
Similar to what MCPS students do during the year in 4th and 5th grade, students will get a one-hour lesson with an expert teacher one day per week. Students will be grouped by instrument/ability/age as much as possible. If you’ve been interested in private lessons for your student this is a great way to try out a less-expensive alternative over the summer.
