Summer is the perfect time for music learning. For school-aged students, there are fewer outside pressures so it’s easier to focus on lessons. It’s also a great time to try a new instrument before making a full-year commitment. Conservatory students can arrange special piano lessons according to their interests: popular, jazz, duets, improvising. For some students, it’s a perfect opportunity to get an early start on the next level’s repertoire and studies or theory, especially if a busy school year is anticipated.

Now on at my studio are free info sessions where parents and children can learn about Music for Young Children classes. Keyboard-based MYC classes run 36 weeks and start shortly after Labour Day. Classes are kept small, so it’s not too late to register today for an info session. Registration is also taking place for the pre-keyboard Sunrise program (ages 2 1/2 and up), beginning in October. More on these programs can be found on my MYC website.
Summer is a great time to attend local music festivals too. The Brantford International Villages Festival just concluded, but there are others such as the Cambridge Highland Games (July 16-17), the Guelph Hillside Festival (July 23-25), Music Niagara (July 17-Aug. 14) or the Brantford Jazz Festival (September 18-19). For other festivals, see here. Nothing compares to a live concert and the memories are lasting! In Brantford, there are Thursday evening concerts (7-9 pm) at the Old Town Hall and Friday afternoon concerts (noon-1 pm) at Victoria Park.
Here’s wishing you and your family a fun, music-filled summer!
