Summer lessons

I've been teaching for over 10 years now, 6 of that time devoted to the Simply Music method. Each year I continue to tweak the way I schedule for summer. I need a balance of a break and keeping the student's material fresh. If I don't teach enough I start to miss the students!

This year I opted to teach 3 weeks in June, then teach a Piano Camp through the Rochester Enrichment, then take 2 weeks off, then a 6 week stint of teaching, then 3 weeks off!

Usually in the summer, my schedule is lighter, but not this year. Although I'm doing beginning piano camps starting in July which will help start new students in a fun and inviting atmosphere while helping to free up my schedule a little.

I'm also teaching Level's together.... Level 2's, Level 3's etc. This will give students the chance to focus on reviewing their playlist and doing fun and 'extra' projects in the summer. We'll also brush up on any arrangements that need reviewed.

For any students that haven't signed up for summer lessons, I recommend at least 4 weeks of lessons. I've seen students take the entire summer off and then need to review for 2 months to catch back up. Without a 'coach' to keep them moving forward they tend to lose their momentum.

One more week of regular schedule, then on to a summer camp!
