Summer Music Lessons  The music teachers have private studios that are open for summer music lessons. The school music program is closed and the summer music lessons are not affiliated with the school. The summer session has no required number of lessons. If your child would like to be a musician but has never studied an instrument, the summer is an excellent time to sample lessons to see if music or a particular teacher is a good fit before you commit to a contract in the fall. If your child is already a musician, the summer is an opportunity to learn new pieces or get a head start on preparation for future concerts. The instruments available are piano, violin, viola, 'cello, guitar, recorder, flute, saxophone, and clarinet. Please note that if you want piano lessons, you need to own or rent a traditional acoustic piano, not an electric piano. If your child wants to study flute, saxophone, or clarinet, he/she needs to be in the third or fourth grade, depending on how tall your child may be. Contact your music teacher directly or Bonnie Knight at (415) 665-1583 or musicroom8@aol.com for further information.
