Request lesson times between June 2-August 29, 2026.
Students must purchase a minimum of six summer lessons in order to be offered a lesson time in the next school year.
You may schedule more than one lesson per week or with a different teacher to get all your summer lessons in.
Summer tuition must be paid in full up front and is refundable until your first scheduled lesson.
Reschedule or cancel summer lessons up to 24 hours before the scheduled lesson time.
Summer students may use online booking or contact our office.
FAQ
Once I submit the form, what happens next?
We will contact you to assign you to a teacher who is the right fit for the student.
Once you are assigned a teacher, you may book lessons online or directly with our office.
How does summer billing work?
We will apply a balance for summer tuition on your account once we receive your lesson time request(s).
The balance is due in full a minimum of 48 hours before your first scheduled lesson and is refundable until your first scheduled lesson.
How many lessons do I book?
Students who purchase six or more lessons during the summer will be given a weekly lesson time in the coming school year.
Those who take fewer than six lessons must re-enroll in August to request a lesson time, and a spot is not guaranteed.
Do I get the same teacher each week?
When we notify you that there is a spot for your student, we will assign you to a specific teacher.
Please schedule as many lessons as possible with your assigned teacher, but you may take lessons with other teachers during the summer to accommodate vacation schedules.
In the coming school year, you will be placed with your originally assigned teacher and given a lesson time based on the open spots in the teacher’s schedule.
Fall lesson times are assigned in late July-early August.

Can I change my summer schedule after I book it?

Do I need a piano at home before starting piano lessons?
If you are interested in piano lessons, please be aware that you need to have a piano in your home before we can schedule lessons.
Electronic keyboards are not recommended for students, so please look for an acoustic upright piano.
We help families to find, purchase or rent upright pianos every week, so let our office know if you need help finding an instrument.
If you have a 3-6 year old beginner and aren’t ready for the commitment of a real piano, consider Exploring Music group classes that have no piano or practice requirement.
All in-studio lessons and classes held at the Grand Avenue Community Center
4211 Grand Avenue, Western Springs, IL 60558.
It’s great to start music lessons in the summer when the kids have more time to practice!
If we don’t take lessons through the summer, my kids forget everything!
