One of the most common questions we get at this time of year is “do lessons continue during the summer?” The answer? YES!! The academy is open during the summer months with lessons running on the same schedule. We also have our summer recital coming up, plus some really fun summer-themed contests.
We know that summer schedules can be busy! The big question for parents and students is:
“Do You Want to Keep the Same Lesson Time in the Fall?”
If the answer is yes but you’re worried about your busy summer schedule, we have four great options to make it easy for you:
Virtual Lessons via Zoom
Going to the cottage? Bring your instrument with you and jump on a Zoom lesson with your teacher! Are you a pianist who doesn’t have a portable keyboard? We’ll lend you one for free!. Even drummers can get in on the action by carrying a practice pad and sticks with them.
Group Makeup Lessons
As always, you can sign up for a group makeup lesson and get the experience of learning and playing alongside your fellow musicians. Sign up at www.waterdownmusicacademy.ca/makeuplessons – pick the time(s) that work best for you and you’re all set! We update our makeup lesson availability twice-a-week. Makeups never expire, so you can book a lesson at your convenience.
Lessons On Loan
This is one of our most popular options every summer. Can’t make it to the academy? You can ‘loan out’ your spot to a friend or family member. It’s a great way to share the gift of music and let your friends and family find out for themselves what you love about your lessons!
FAQs:
If we stop for the summer can we get our spot back in the fall?
Lesson times are first-come, first-served. We enrol more students during the summer than any other time of year and can’t guarantee that your spot will still be open for the next school year.
How full is the academy?
We are currently over 95% capacity! Many of our teachers are fully-booked even have waiting lists for students eager to get started this summer.
Any special events coming up this summer?
Of course! We’re excited to announce that our next recital will take place on Saturday, August 24th. Watch your inbox for more details soon!
