Special Services or Focus: G-Clef is giving parents more freedom this summer by providing their children with more choices. G-Clef’s Summer Music Camp Blocks is flexible, so it accommodates the busiest schedules of multi-active children. The academy provides 90-minute group music lesson blocks in piano, drums, guitar, violin, steel pan and/or voice. Three 90-minute group music lesson blocks are offered each day, Monday through Friday. Parents are free to build their child’s very own summer music camp experience.
An intense 90-minute music lesson block is packed with teaching students how to play their selected instrument, music theory (which teaches students how to read music), performance on the instrument, and more. The length of this year’s Summer Music Camp blocks is eight weeks. Parents choose how many blocks they want their child to attend each weekday, the instruments their child will learn and the number of weeks their child will attend Summer Music Camp. Summer recitals will be held Aug. 6 to Aug. 8.

Cost: Flexibility is the key word. There are so many choices to build a child’s camp experience.

Plus, you can save $25 on your child’s registration fee until June 15.
