Summer Lessons
I know it’s only May, but summer is just around the corner and it’s time to think about summer plans, and music lessons. Throughout my life as a musician, I have heard a similar sad story from many people. It goes something like this “I used to play music when I was young, but I quit, and I really wish I still played.”
Somewhere along the way they lost their momentum in their pursuit of music. Something happened that caused them to lose interest. One of the most common reasons this occurs is actually a summer break from music lessons.
What happens is this; without the regular music lessons students tend to develop sporadic practice habits or even stop practicing altogether. Without regular practice muscle memory and skills are lost, progress slows, can stop, and can even regress. When progress is lost students may lose interest or feel that it is too much trouble to have to relearn what they have forgotten. Some younger students may feel bad for having forgotten how to play and do not want to face their instructor.
This is why we have lessons year-round. We don’t want our students to be telling that story in their future.
Now maybe you’re thinking, “Wait a minute Ms. Michelle, our family has summer vacation plans and we would miss several of our scheduled lessons. Is it worth it to stay enrolled in lessons for the summer?”
Well, this is one of the main reasons we offer free group make up lessons on Saturdays. Miss your regularly scheduled lesson, for any reason, you can sign up for one of our free, hour-long, group make up lessons. There is no limit, and they don’t expire.
Also, remember that we cannot hold your lesson time if you withdraw from regular lessons. As MMA continues to grow and many of our teachers’ schedules are near or at capacity. Prime lesson times are in high demand. If you stay enrolled over the summer you can keep your preferred lesson time(s).
So, here are three reasons to stay enrolled in music lessons over the summer.
1. Maintain Musical Momentum!
2. FREE Group Make Up Lessons!
3. Keep Your Sweet Spot!
Don’t let your, or your child’s story be- “I used to play music when I was young, but I quit, and I really wish I still played.” Take advantage of our make up lessons and enjoy the benefits enduring musical education. Stay in lessons, keep moving forward, and enjoy a lifetime of music.

Good News! Thanks to many of your awesome referrals our enrollment is till growing! For those of you that have Monday, Tuesday and Thursday lessons, you've no doubt noticed that the waiting area is as busy as ever with parents and siblings.
This also means we need to manage scheduling more closely in order to avoid double booking new incoming students with ones that have asked their teacher for a reschedule. To avoid miscommunication and double-bookings we launched our new free Group Make-up program! Here's how it works |
We want our new students to enjoy the same quality experience when starting lessons as each of you did. By following this new program you will be helping a great deal as we continue to grow! |
